thinking of solid roller 382 all bore! :)
382 ci all bore,solid roller 232*/240* .620"/.630"
MTI stage 3 ls6 heads,and extrude honed holley intake manifold...here are the questions..do you think a goal of 460 RWHP is obtainable through slp longtubes and a 3in. cut-out?how periodic are valve adjustments?is this a suitable combo for "average" street driving?and do you think this combo would enjoy a little laughing gas?..thanks!

Stick with the LS6 or get a custom intake, but don't give Holley or LPE any money for that POS intake.

My car is also still going to serve as my daily driver even though I only put about 5000 miles on it a year. I am also thinking about the solid roller set up but I just don't think I would like having to adjust it all the time.
<strong>my beleif is the 382 "stroker" is just extra heavy reciprocating weight in the bottom end..because all the strokers "AROUND HERE" are getting eaten alive by6 the H/C cars and all bore cars....just giving my 02 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Forged Lunati LS1 crank weighs 7 lbs less than a stocker, and the forged piston and rod combo is lighter too so your belief is off there. More than likely the bottom end is topped off with some crappy heads and a mismatched cam.
If 460 rwhp is your goal, there is no reason to go to a solid roller. Besides, a 232 SR is a small cam for an all bore setup.

<strong>the fastest one down here ran 11.57@115..thats an ARE 385ci with mti stage 2 ls6's and an MTI S1 cam...why is it so slow</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Unless the motor leaked down like **** and had bad rings/some other problem the power problem is not with ARE (Most likely the tuning.)
Also an S1 cam is an awfully big cam for a 385 stroker.
There could be other issues as well (tranny, etc) Are you a six speed or A4?
There are a lot of ARE/MTI etc strokers making 460+RWHP.
GeorgeC is running the quickest and fastest 382 all bore right now and it is completely built by ARE (ARE S2 heads and custom spec solid roller cam.)
Georges ARE 382 all bore: 10.1@132mph

MTI can definitely build you a killer setup as well.
cheers,
