Alright, so I've ordered a bunch of stuff, and I'm looking for feedback. Have I ordered anything that is wrong? Missing something that I should be replacing? Here's my list
Katech 416 NA short block, fully forged, 11.5:1 compression LT4 injectors, in tank and high pressure pumps, and fuel lines ATI balancer BTR 660 dual springs/seals Katech oil pump NW 103 T/B JLT 5 inch cold air intake Katech LT1 track day camshaft I have a year old set of Johnson 2110r lifters that seem ok, but with the metal that went through the system I am thinking those should be replaced like I'm doing with the oil cooler. I already have an MSD unported manifold and 1 7/8 kooks headers and exclusively run E85. I plan on buying a new OEM clutch because I don't think I'll exceed it's capabilities I expect to make over 600whp, considering I was at 550whp with the stock bottom end. Thoughts? Suggestions? |

A combination of a thin gasket and milling the heads a little will get you to 12.5:1 compression. Will be fine on pump gas, and respond well to E85. |

I thought about this actually, decided on a slightly thinner gasket but I want to measure the piston to valve clearance before deciding on any other changes.

Milling .006 nets roughly 1cc of volume if you want to do some rough calculations. |

Well I was finally able to get the new engine installed, and it's running. Car will be at the tuner next week, so we'll see how she does
Here's the mod list, I'm very curious what the numbers will be, I had about 550whp 460tq previously. I'll be disappointed if it doesn't break into the 600's with a increase in torque. Katech 416 NA short block Ported stock heads, BTR springs, CHE rocker trunnions Cometic 0.040 head gaskets Katech track day camshaft Johnson lifters, 7.825 and 7.850 3/8 pushrods Katech oil pump Katech lightweight flywheel ATI damper LT4 fuel system Flex fuel conversion 160 degree katech thermostat MSD manifold NW 103 mm throttle body JLT 5 inch intake BMR engine mounts with solid bushings LT4 clutch AC compressor and lines have been deleted, using motul break in oil and will swap out to mobil 1 0-50 before the first track day. Car sounds good even before the tune. |

Here's one thing I'll add ... If I ever have to bleed that slave cylinder again I'm probably just gonna sell the car, you just cannot get to it. What a dreadful design, and I had no idea there was a kit to help it. So I had to go back and remove the shifter, trans mounts, loosen the engine mounts and drop the trans down a few inches just to barely get to it. What an absolute nightmare.
