Most of the failures I read about are heavily tracked LT1's making 650+. |
Most piston ring gap failures occur when you push the stock LT1 past 8 psi. Go for as much NA power as possible and keep boost at 8psi. Long tubes, cam, ported LT1 heads and intake will get close to 700rwhp. With LT4 fueling components and low side help from Dsx you can increase the piston life. The fuel has to be there
