Default NEWBIE from Texas

Hi everyone: I'm a newbie to the GM scene. I have a succesful forged modular engine build under my belt but I've been wanting to look into the world of pushrods. I've spent good amount of $$$$$ building my engine to my specs but I'm not happy with it. You really have to boost those engines if you want serious power. I guess its true there's no substitute for displacement. That's how I ended up in here to experience both sides of the house.

so you have a ford?4.6? yes it takes boost to get those things down the road. LS1's are the way to go,no qeustion about that.do heads and cam and intake to an ls1 takes a modular quite a bit to come back on the ls1.some will say "oh no my ford is magical and will beat any ls1 on the road" but you will see, oh and welcome to the site!glad to see a modular owner that is dissapionted in the 4.6.
