naw what am i thinking this is LS1 tech, theyll all just tell me to put an LS1 in it. idk man ill do some thinking.

i didnt wanna stroke/bore the ls1 or lt1 just wanted to get some forged rods and pistons, and good rings, so i could run a safe 150shot if i had to. but i want 409 N/A hp and 400 N/A tq
