I disagree but thats ok


The bottom line is: If you want longevity and good results boosting a SBE LT1, then upgrade the fuel system and run Ethanol. That's not to say you can't run pump gas and low boost. That is ok up to 7psi but if you want more then you need to switch to E for 10-11psi. Above that it's wise to just go with forged rods/pistons.
I agree completely and u should forge an lt1 if u want to make any more power. Can u do it sure but, and get rid of 0w oil.
