Found a local lq4 out of a Chevy truck... Guess they are parting it out... Sucks cause i think I would have to pull the motor for them if I buy it. 92k makes me skeptical as to why they are parting it out if it's a good truck... But oh well. Maybe it'll have a 4l80 attached to it to go with it. Waiting to hear back

I’m sure a lot will disagree with me here but I wouldn’t do a pro charger on a street engine (or any centrifugal supercharger) mainly for the lack of low end power compared to top end power. I don’t mind revving my junk though so it wouldn’t matter for me but most people would get much more enjoyment from a roots style blower or even better a properly sized turbo setup. Just my 2 cents as I’ve driven them all

I do do agree with him though if you are small cubic inches and running under 10 psi the procharger may not be what you want. Over 10 psi it really changes things as does cubic inches.

Yeah considering all I'd have to do is just bolt on the heads, intake, and accessories really, that ATK isn't a bad idea... I'm waiting to here back about the local one, gonna take my buddy with me (he works with his dad at his shop), he might be able to pickup on those red flags you guys mentioned.

What do we have to do or what is the code for the 5% off? Free shipping to residential address? I tried emailing you guys a while back with some questions like these and didn't get a reply. I figured you get a lot of business and emails can get lost so no biggie.

If you're going to run boost, it really needs to be build for your application. Crankshaft is good for some decent power, but the pistons, rings and rods should be upgraded. A naturally aspirated engine and a boost engine are built differently. Sure, you can just toss spray or boost at an engine and it may live a little while, but why do it twice? We gap the rings, set the bearing clearances and select parts stack designed to live when building a nitrous/boost application.

About 5 yrs ago I bought a 08 LY6 w/ 30K miles for $1300. So yeah, I think $1200 is a stretch. Get a used motor of shortblock.. You don't want the block machined PRIOR to getting your pistons anyways. I always wondered what the allure of getting a freshly machined block from Summit.
