High RPM LS1 or LS2
High RPM LS1 or LS2 I am looking at what options I want for my forged motor. It will be with a STS FI setup so there is allot of value in a motor that get climb safely in the RPM's.
What do you guys think is required to build a high spining motor? Do you think a 402/8 would be better than a 347/70?
With an STS I truly am not in boost untill 3200RPMs... I dont want to run out of room too fast.
Thanks guy's!!!

What he said... if I was going FI, I'd build a 346 and just dump the boost in... our motors have pleanty of low-end but if you wanna go completely nuts, 408's can be just plain mean... hope you're running slicks...

Now I have heard that the 370 (LQ9 Iron Block) with the smaller rotating assembly is the best of both worlds... Smaller rotating mass, and bigger cube then the 346. So where in my powerband should I be setting my shift points if I have a 7k RPM curve? Just before my HP/TQ begin to go back down?

depends on the curve. you want the most "area" underneath the curve. if your making increasing power all the way to redline, shift at redline. if your power curve drops off significantly as it approaches redline (like some LS1's) then you want to shift a little earlier.
