LQ4 Engine Build I'm building up an LQ4 and I need some advice. I have had the block prepped and ready, bought my forged internals which consisted of a 4" eagle crank, 6.125 eagle rods and JE pistons( need help here ). Now this is going to be a daily driven nitrous motor and I plan on running L92s and an LS3 intake. I have an MS3 cam for it but I was told I should to with a different cam. That's where I need help. I plan on running a 150 shot of nitrous.

Cam selection completly depends on your power goals. An MS3 would work fine wth your setup but Im certain that a custom grind would better suit your needs.
Also, a nitrous cam may suit you but if you intend on driving the car on the street N/A more than Spraying N20, you should just consider N/A Camshafts.

Ok, The pistons I got with this rotating assembly are JE Forged pistons with a -26cc dish, which is like 9.8:1 on 59cc combustion chamber, How possible is it going to be to make these work for 2-3 months until I can go forced induction? I figure with 2500-3k I can get a decent forced induction setup. Or should I sell or trade the pistons for some flat tops with valve reliefs and just run nitrous?
