Default NEW motor options

So pretty much I'm ordering a new shortblock soon was wondering what you guys think


I was looking at TSP 402

looking for 500+ N/A or 650+ F/I or even a F/I setup around 450 prior to F/I




what would be optimal setup for boost

what would be optimal setup for N/A

what would be optimal setup for No2

I also may have a chance to get a ls3 from a 2010 camaro for $4500 full pull out

You really should decide what you want to build. You don't need 402 to make 650 hp with FI - 370 or 390 might be a better choice. Cam and head selection are very much dependent on build as well. You could use stock heads and get there with FI, better heads needed for na.

How many miles on the LS3?
