My 1st LS1 build, help inside Well,I've decided to build a motor for the SS, it's not gonna be anything done tomorrow, or a month from now, or even this year.It's gonna be a budget build.
All I have right now is a damn near brand new LS6 block and goals(My goals being 450-470 RWHP, able to spin 7K rpm's). I'm gonna do this with damn near no parts off my car, that a way I can keep a number's matching car, the only thing I might use would be the stock intake/tb. I would also like to use as many GM parts as possible, besides the cam of course, and I was thinking about using the MS3 from Texas Speed as my cam( Kinda doubting everything Texas Speed puts out after reading bad things from them). Not sure If I wanna stroke her or leave it at stock small cubes, if a 383 could be build reliably and decently priced I might go that route.
I was also thinking a little bit high compression (11, or 11.5:1) but not sure on what heads I wanna go with.
Anyone have any idea's to help me out?
