I am currently running 10lbs of boost at 600rwhp 613rwtq. I plan on upgrading my cam and spraying meth but I'm considering knocking out 2 birds with 1 stone and getting the cam and engine built at the same time. What did you pay to make yours bulletproof?

Rods, pistons and ARP main and head fasteners.

Rough estimate at what that would run me?

A couple grand in parts. Another grand in labor, depending on how much you do yourself. Ball park figure, 3k.

Sounds do-able

Nighthawk89 · 06-12-2015, 09:38 PM

What about doing head work. Did you port your heads or buy something diff?

4200 for forged internals sounds like a good deal

Sounds reasonable. You can buy a brand new LSX 376 for 6-7grand

I think the question is what's your goal, then you know how far you need to go. 700,800,900,1000 rwhp?

Is ERL the only 1 to offer a core exchange ability?
What differs from them to say lingenfelter product wise?
