i'm not doing forged slugs, even though a flat top piston would be nice to prevent the higher mill numbers on the head i can't afford it so i am leaving the bottom end untouched except for ARP Rod Bolts and maybe a Main Stud Kit. but prolly only the Rod Bolts.
On a side note, Richard sent me the Flow chart on these 5.3 heads and its more than this motor will EVER need, its insane.

ChaChing.
Dang... Where do you work? I have to work some serious overtime and eat maybe 3 times a week to afford all that in one shot.
Personallly i'm wanting to do some minor work on my 5.3 until I decide to look for a 6.0. Once i find one I'll forge it. Would like to get it to the 12's before adding any induction or N20.
Hell of a goal to shoot for. Keep us informed on the progress. I'd love to see how it turns out.
