Finally got the short block parts in and crank balanced. Engine will begin to be put together. It is a lq9 bored 4.030 an stroked 3.900 (after some research seems the slightly less stroke was a good idea). i am going to be running carillo rods, Lt4 crank and wiseco pistons. For heads i have a set of mast small bore ls7 heads. (i know ima catch some flack for the build). I want to go twin turbo to make around 1000 hp range. in order to get the right cam i need to have an idea of what turbos i will be running. i want to keep them a set of t4's just not sure which or the make. does anyone have any recommendations? First ls build or any actual build for that matter. This will be a street/track car.
Mcss tt 402 build?

Call up BTR or Tick and tell them what you're doing. Technically, any cam does better with boost. I'm running a stage 1 boost cam (.613/.590 lift on a 114 lsa) for 4.8/5.3 from Tick (ground by Cam Motion) and have associated parts to keep it alive. My motor isn't boosted yet, but even in NA status I'm pushing 400ish HP with BTR springs/pushrods, Straub trunnion upgrade, holley midram, stainless long tubes and full x pipe. Also running a shift kitted 80E with custom spec'd FTI converter and it moves out pretty good. Running HP Tuners and its dialed in pretty dang good!
My buddy is running twin 78's on a 5.3 and hitting right at 1k hp. This past weekend he was making 9.4 sec passes at 30lbs of boost, but the suspension isn't fully dialed in yet. If you stick with 78/75's, plenty of fuel (aeromotive 5gph or equivalent), and good tune, that built 6L will easily hit 1k hp.

lol. pics of what? parts?this things been slow to go. 3.900 stroke was a mission.
Yea ordered my cam already from smallwood. im going to go with a pair of s369 or anything in that range. Finally the actual car is looking like a car again. slowly but surely.
