Comments on new mtor combo please... Parts are now stating to arrive for the new motor. Can I get some feedback from you guys on this one. Keep in mind this is a ORR car NOT a drag car. High RPM's and longevity are key.
346 c.i. LS1
13.99:1 compression
CAM:243/256 572/572 110+0 lsa
Compstar 6.125 rods
Diomand 3.903 10cc domed pistons w/ total seal rings(coated)
Stock nitrated crank
MTI Stage 2R LS6 heads (same heads off old motor)
LSX 90m throttle body and intake manifold
QTP 1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8 long tube headers w/ high velocity merge collectors out a Dr. Gas boom tube.
Good possibility this motor will get a dry sump thrown on it. Conservative guess on hp......I am going REAL conservative w/ 430rwhp and spinning around 7500. I dont want to get my hopes up to much and then get kicked in the nuts when Igo to the dyno.
Whadya think?

Yeah thats what they cc'ed out as. tested with my own burret kit. Factory GM gasket. CR is going to be closer to 13.7. I forgot that the 13.99 was with the Lunati 12cc domed pistons.
gotcha. should be a ****** bad *** setup. i assume 116 race gas? is this the setup you were originally gonna go with and then had to back down because of funds or something?

This is the "budget" combo. So far I have been able to dig parts up pretty damn cheap. Not quite what I wanted. It will still be a race gas only motor though.
The next combo will be the one I go for 200mph with. This one just has to keep me moving at 180mph.
