    Keep the LS block, lower compression ratio will allow you to make more power. A low compression high boost engine, will beat a high compression low boost engine most of the time. You get a good turbo kit, port and polish the heads, full exhaust, proper fuel and timing mods, with about 15-18 lbs a boost and you should be in the 250-300whp no problem, depending on how aggresive your tune is. Should be pretty reliable for a DD depending on tune as well. It's all about tuning, that's why some people can run 22lbs and not blow a motor, and some people can run 10lbs and blow a motor real quick.

    you are a moron. please dont listen to this guy. first things first.
    A) low compression on high boost is not better than higher compression on low boost. if you can make 300whp on 9psi with a 10:1 ratio or 300whp on 14psi with a 8:1 ratio, guess which will be faster? the high compression since it will not only spool faster, but not have to spool as much. your an idiot for that comment.

    B)um there is only one head. not "heads". and absolutely no headwork is needed to make 250-300whp.

    to the real world. get your **** straight before you post.
