I just put a down payment on an upgraded short block and cnc ported lt1 heads from gtrain on here.

Short block:
- brand new GM LT1 Engine*Block
- Stock wet sump Crankshaft
- Manley H-Beam Rods
- Manley 2618 Pistons 10.5:1 compression
- ARP Rod Bolts
- Premium Total Seal Rings
- Clevite Bearings
- Professionally Balanced
- ARP Main Studs

CNC Ported LT1 heads:
_____Intake Exhaust*
.200 150 113*
.300 220 154*
.400 262 199*
.500 307 214*
.600 345 225
.650 357 227

I went with this combo to support my goals. I'm not looking for 1k wheel but a healthy power level with some comfort of mind it's got some decent parts in there.

I'm hoping to transfer as much top and front end from my old engine to this one. Intake manifold, water pump, misc brackets, ARP Head studs, factory rockers, BTR dual springs and chromoly pushrods. I'd guess the cam took some damage, i'll order the same custom spec'd cam BTR did for it.

With a better bottom end and lower compression we should be able to actually work the turbo. It was making great power with minimal effort at 10psi before. I'll differ to my Tuner for how we are going to approach this. Either steps of 100 hp increments supported by track results over the year or jump right back into 700 something, put some miles on it and then go up from there. I'm not sure I needed better heads but Gtrain's ported heads are very close to TSP's numbers and cheaper.
