Default How much would it cost to have the bottem-end built???

Hi guys,

How much would it cost to have the bottem-end built on the LS1??? And is it possible to get it built to specificly to take a big-shot of nitrous RELIABLY? I am talking about at least 300-shot. Let me repeat again, the keyword is here is RELIABLY.

Has anyone here every spray a 300-shot or bigger on a built motor?

Thanks
-Tuan

Would this be for Cannibal protection? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Forged pistons are around $800
Quality rings are around $150
Custom head gaskets, about $100
Billet rods are about $750

Make sure you use all the ARP bolts.

How about assembly of the short block if I were to take all the parts to a shop (well minus bearings)?

Like one of those nodular cranks from COME in the other post, with above mentioned parts.

block decked
arp rod bolts
5cc domes
Nitrous ring gaps <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I'm pretty much going to run a 200+shot on it if I dont sell it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
