Lsx 454 build
It is a good, relatively cheap way to make some real power. But it's still not very realistic on his budget. I'm sure you've seen this but it's some good info on what a solid FI build really costs https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...induction.html
but even a stock ls1 with a crapy sts turbo can make 500+ to the wheels.....
i would go with what eric and his 383 topped off with afr's. you know what your getting. other than that schwanke (sp) had 427 iron blocks for under 4k or go with a budget 408 with worked l92 heads. i say sacrifice another year of waiting an saving up and get what you really want.
unfortunately, im looking at another 6months-1yr to finish my procharger build and getting a nice rear end
. i have 7k worth of parts in my living room
