Need help with my build!
I’m in need of some help. I know there is several ways to do it but I’m wanting to get my 2019 Camaro 2SS to around 650 to 700 RWHP. I was gonna see if I could get some recommendations on shops that could do this. Who has the best prices and also does good work! I don’t want to take shortcuts on the build cause I want the car to still be safe to drive. I don’t wanna mess anything up on it or anything obviously. Any and all help would be so appreciated. Thanks guys!

Supercharger of choice @ 9-10psi, LT4 Fuel system, Cat deletes, will get you into that power range easy.....and the most important part of it all PROPER TUNING!
Meth will be required with 93 octane. E85 will require more fuel system mods. Either way you don't need pistons for that power level. My fuel system consists of: LT4 injectors LPE HPFP LT4 in-tank JMS voltage booster I run a Whipple with a 3.375 pulley which sees about 9.9psi of boost in 80 degree weather. With a E60 mix I run 19 degrees of timing, fuel injectors are in the 5.7ms range and the high side holds 2900psi, low side 70psi targeting .82 Lambda. All of this data I am posting is probably greek to you. However there might be a point in time where you find it useful because this is the range where you will want your fuel system to be for safe fueling. Either way good luck.

IMO, 650 to 750 HP build for 100,000 miles:
stronger intake one piece solid intake valves (LT4 went to titanium). Forged pistons, prefer rods but at a minimum change to ARP rod bolts head studs On the safe side I'd do the LT5 cam and LS7 lifters (LT5 cam is a AFM delete LT1 cam) If you don't want to fool with the cam, I'd run titanium valves and the stock valve train. It is the heavier solid valve that needs a stronger spring and probably getting rid of the problematic (IMO) AFM cam setup. I would guess when it is all said and done the price would be about the same. You can always design a 100K cam for more power and the fuel lobe, but you get on a slippery slope of too much, too fast list for even more power. I'd be very comfortable with a .580 lift Cam Motion blower cam with fuel lobe and reasonable beehive single spring say 115 lbs seat. The power is "easy" the longevity not so much.

edit, looks like Lingenfelter offers a drivetrain warranty only on their NA LT1 build, the 630 engine HP supercharger build comes with warranty only on the supercharger. OK then. Hennessy offers a 3 year on their 605 and 750 engine HP (upgraded valvetrain, minimum boost for HP) build, so I would agree that some 100 or so engine HP of head room can be gained by adding headers, ported heads and cam as these don't stress the piston / ring assembly as much. You are still hoping that your specific ring gaps will be enough. Mine ring gaps were good and I never had a stock piston / ring issue, so I would probably still be OK even now on my OEM piston, ring, and / or rod assembly.

Agree with Oldman...There is no "safe limit". The LT1 has made 800whp+ for 30k miles and they have also blown up on the dyno at 600whp within the first couple pulls. Several variables come into play here. Personally I see no issues with pushing this engine into the 700 range if the fuel system and tuning is on point depending on how the car is driven. If you are building a car for the mile events then it probably would be good insurance to do drop in pistons. The way A8 cars are geared there isn't really a ton of load on the engine until 6th gear which is 1:1 @ 145-150 mph depending on tire height and shift point.
