Ok guys, don't talk me out of the L92 block! I'm set on it and I'm going with it. If I keep trying to stay update with all the new parts coming out, then I'll never get my car running again. So...I need help completing what I had begun and that's a 415 cubic inch L92. Please help me decide on:

-Hydraulic or solid roller (How much difference? Worth the extra work to maintain/monitor lash?)
-Crankshaft (Callies Dragonslayer or something different?)
-Rods (Callies Compstar or something different?)
-Pistons (Wiseco or something different?)
-Heads (4.065" bore/4" stroke)
-Intake (Reusing my FAST 90mm intake until more funds become available for a sheet metal. Is there anything out there that's better than the FAST 90mm besides a custom sheet metal?)
-Throttle body (Reusing my Nick Williams 90mm. Will this be ok or do you suggest something different?)
-Intake system (Currently have SLP 85mm MAF, SLP bellow, Texas Speed & Performance 85mm lid, & Fast Toys ram air kit? Keep setup? Suggestions?)
-Fuel system (Currently have the Racetronix fuel system on Thunder Racing's website, not sure if it will support the setup as I don't know what its rated for. Suggestions?)
-Injectors (I had a set of SVO 30s, but I knew for sure that they wouldn't be enough. Suggestions?)
-Fuel rail (I sold my stock fuel rail because I figured it wouldn't support the power. Suggestions?)
-Any other fuel related parts I need to get rid of or add?
-Rocker arms
-Lifters
-Headers (I have a set of Kooks 1 7/8" w/3" collectors, will they be enough? If not, suggestions?)
-Valve covers
-Spark plugs (Have a new set of NGK TR-55s, are these what I need or something else?)
-Where should ARP bolts be used/needed?
-Stock L92 main caps or aftermarket?
-Oil pump (Currently have the Thunder Racing ported/blueprinted stock pump. Should I consider a Melling or other? Suggestions?)

 

WTF do you want to do with it?

Some of that stuff is fine, liek headers. It's hard to get more header in there.

how badass are u goin with this? also, what areas are u willing to go with 2nd best parts? and what is the purpose of the car? drag, street beast, or jsut to say u have a 415?

for fuel rails and valve covers, i would go to Nasty--->, they make some nice billet or fabbed valvecovers, and also have a nice fuel rail package. they also can advise u on ur fuel system and sell u enough for any power level(think they have a 2000hp system even)

 

the L92 intake will out flow a ported FAST from what i understand, and you can beat the price, im getting the L92 heads and intake for about $600 from my pops

 

just build something please

 

 

Feel like hooking me up?

 

You should be fine with the 1 7/8 x 3 on your app. I f you have anymore ? call me at 1 631 586 9002 ext 308

 

you are aware the fast doesn't fit the L92 heads? or are you using ls1/6 style heads

 

SStrokerAce, it's gona go in my '00 SS drag car. It will not see street use.

Phoenix 5.7, I wana go as "badass" as I can. Of course, I don't have $20k to spend either. I'm not looking for a budget build, but I also don't have an endless amount of money. So it has nothing to do with saying I have a 415 ci motor. The reason it's going to be a 415 is because I'll be using a 4" stroke which is a standard size with its factory bore of 4.065", which produces 415 cu. in. I don't need a fuel system to support 2000 hp because I won't be anywhere near that. I want a system that will support my build and then some so when I upgrade the intake later, my fuel system will still be able to keep up.

SSilverSSurfer, I've read as well that the L92 intake will beat a ported FAST 90mm, however, I really want to build something NOW and I can't wait around to see what this heads/intake combo is going to do. Plus being so new, it hadn't been out long enough to improve. I know once this setup will be readily available, it will be hard to beat.

ls1408cp, tell me about it. I'm so ready to get this car on the freakin' road. I can't help that I'm so undecisive.

GeorgeR@kooks, thanks.

Greg Fell, yes I'm aware that the FAST 90mm intake doesn't fit the L92 heads. So far, the only thing that I'm using from a L92 is the block. I opted to use this block as opposed to the LS2 because of the bigger bore. You can't beat 13 more cubes for $300.

 

Dude, no offense but you're starting to sound like my wife picking out curtains.

Just pull the plug and go..."There is always going to be someone faster than you."

 

Pull the plug on what? I don't have a complete build yet. There are still several parts I need to decide on before I go with it. In the opening post you will see lots of blank areas for parts I need to choose on.

 

By the way, this is going to be a naturally aspirated setup.
