So I am starting to plan my new motor right now and start gathering parts (shortblock first) and then replace my current setup so while I have been doing a lot of research and reading I figured I would throw this up and try to get some more opinions. While I'm set on something's I am unsure of others. So here is the motor I have planned or well started researching.

Iron 5.3 block (have)
3.622 K1 crank
6.125 compstar rods (have)
3.903 -11cc weisco pistons
MMS 220 heads
Mayhem Motorsports specs on cam motion lobes
Morel 5315 lifters
C7r chain
N20 outlet 4 post cooling
Vic Jr intake
6061 elbow
NW 92mm TB

So what you guys think? I miss anything? It's going in a 3300 race weight Camaro with a 4L80 (hopefully be th400 soon as well) with a s484 t6. 85% strip 15% street.

Things I'm unsure of
- I wanna stay stock stroke as I have time to wait but the 4in craze is going on but really have seen any fast 38x setups tho
- 92mm tb going to be enough or spend the extra $20 for the 102?
- stay hydraulic or go solid roller? I'm not going to spin huge rpms but the llsr seems like the cars meow and seems more stable throughout the power band

 

Very good F/I combo.....LLSR is kinda the way to go really
I hardly feel the TB size difference matters since you're cramming the **** through there anyways....

 

What are your power goals? Why not leave the bore small and the cylinder walls thick if you're going to add boost?

 

The block is already at a 3.903 I'm basically just swapping Pistons to a -11cc from a -2cc. Power goals I don't really have any, but I hope the setup should do atleast 1k.

 

Car will also have crank scraper, ATI balancer, will go with what Tony Mamo says about the rockers. ARP head studs and main studs,

Maybe a electric water pump? The ac and power steering will be deleted.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Anything I should add?

Seems like the bottom end and machining will be done by Thompson Motorsports.
