Do you guys do different blower hats than the ones that say corvette on it? Also, if you guys could PM me with the price of this build overall, that would be awesome. I also have a 2018 1LE.

The only additional part you don't have is the 1LE FPCM and 1LE/ZL1 Fuel Pump in tank. If you do the rest exactly as stated you will be fine. |

Are you not worried about pistons?

Honestly it's the ring gap you worry about - not the pistons themselves

But the core issue is ring gap that is too tight and/or inconsistent

Most of the failures that get blamed on the LT1's piston rings are actually due to not enough fuel supply. If you research hard and long enough, most failures have been around 600whp and the engine was still using the stock HPFP, Injectors, and Low side. The problem is on the Dyno the fuel supply looks good. However after a few long pulls out on the street, the engine pops a ring because pressure started dropping and injector pulse went above the safe threshold, so the increased heat pinched a ring.
I am not saying the LT1 does not have tight or inconsistent ring gaps, but the engine overall in most cases can handle some power when setup correctly. Do Not Skimp on the fuel system and it will be happy. Also do not rely strictly on Dyno tuning...get the car on the street and make some high gear pulls with a Data logger.

I'm gonna be likely above 650whp, so I did a full LT4 fuel system, cam fuel lobe, and pistons - So this scenario doesn't necessarily apply to me

for sure...nothing wrong with doing pistons. I was just saying that more LT1 failures are due to lack of proper fuel system and not the Piston rings. I'm right behind you...just paid off my car, now I have to decide which way I want to go.
