Finally pulling the trigger on parts!

Oil pressure was higher with the LS30.
Forge once I spin a bearing, bend a rod, or melt a ringland... whichever comes first. At that point, I'll send the TEA heads out to polish/soften the chambers and build my stock block (unless a rod goes through it).
I'm going to do Molnar Turbo rods and Diamond -8.6cc Dished pistons. I'm going to talk to Molnar too about doing a forged 3.622" - they list the part number for the stock stroke but don't carry on their website. So it might be a special order. If so, I'd just have them not do the gundrilling on the #1 main to strengthen the snout for the Procharger.

I concur. I've been using Joe Gibbs LS30 for many years now, and my oil pressure has been higher with it than any other oil I've used. I love the stuff.

Well I'm enjoying the car now with the 3.73s in there. So that's helping a lot.
Going to a tighter 3600 stall would make it even more streetable. So that's probably next on my list. But the 4000 stall/373 combo is a road terror. And this cam pulls hard as **** upto 7k but drives pretty damn nice. So overall, it's a good setup. So I'm happy to take my time on putting together the next setup...
