That's flat out moving for anything but even more impressive on a naked bike.

no didnt sell motor just decided to build it forged, will be running a single front mount turbo setup w/ 317 heads and thicker head gasket looking to get around 8.6 - 1 compression and boost 15-18lbs. Hopefully somewhere around 600-700hp range

Build a 370 . Use your stock crank and then buy some pistons in a 6.0 block. Keep your stock block, pistons and rods from your stocker. Or you can buy another crank and have a complete LS1 to put into something . Just food for thought.

May be forging my motor as well...I'll know more details Wednesday/Thursday when I'm back home and finish tearing down the motor. If everything looks good, might ****** a fuel pump from an SS camaro that won't be moving for awhile......then proceed to the dyno and destroy said SS camaro's old dyno number

The t-rex would love a 200 shot

Fixed lol. But seriously, I found a whole thread last night with people spraying around 300 on a stock bottom end. Crazy stuff.
