My First Build. . .

[DAtegPilot]

thats what im saying though im not sure what kinda of numbers are good for what i want to do that why im asking for advice.... i mean i know HOW to build a motor and do the work... im just not too good at the nath and putting together of ideas part. . .

umm. i guess it'd be safe to say that im looking for more of a low to mid range with a reliable top end for cruising on hwy. . is that doable. . . cause i know all i ever did in my MR was down the boost for putt putt and up the boost for go fast fun. . .

im looking to build a bullet-proof motor that revs about 8 or 9k [ not making power that high nessecrily but has pull to almost that ] and that can take a beating and keep on running . . . . its going to be for small backroads and mnt runs and if i can get around to it auto x every once in a while to help with my driving skill.

what hampers the ls motors ability to make power is the head. cheapest way to is hybrid(lsV) but ur not interested in that.

get the ls head machined along with the intake manifold, bigger throttle body,raised cr,crower cams(heard about these, dont know from exp.)...n maybe nitrous, but again thats the easy way.

all motor ls is rare because of the money but can be done.
