seriously just 3400 turbo it with forged pistons and ls6 springs for that much money :lol:

 

[1-slo-vert]

thanks for the info guys. i have some dicisons to make.

 

[scott0999]

oh and mybad, I forgot you already have a 3400 and S/C

If your looking for more power just take that sc off and go turbo. 13.8 just seems slow for a boost 3400. :-? You should atleast be in the 12's with a good turbo setup, good tune, and 10psi.

yup, needs tune & traction

the car has a lot more in it. the 13.8 was with out any tuning, intercooling, and with stock 2" exhaust.

here is the thread that I posted about the aluminum block.

It is definitely a nice part, but damn it is a lot of money to blow! I wouldn't mind one if I had just won the lottery or something like that.

Yep, not worth it for the most part, not unless you are running a class that limits HP, or limits parts to limit power, but weight is not minimized or you need to get down to a certain weight, and this would be the last thing to get you there.

The stroke is also limited to 3.20" IIRC, which with the max bore the sleeves could handle was something like a 3.0L at most.

ya, lots of money to go back to a 2.8 for starters. we could have one hell of an engine 4g's in it!
