I don't think you can find forged pistons for a 4.8L... could be wrong though. I say give it a shot, we'll all learn something new hopefully.

That's alot of power. What are his track times? Video link wont work for me. Is that on 91 octain with just water meth?

Sounds like what I have planned...

There was a guy on here with a 4.8L with forged pistons. I believe it was 8ALTNG. That GTO did those numbers on race fuel and meth. It was holding together fine until the cam bolts backed out. The car has went 11's at 134. It has a slight traction problem. They will be back out with it this fall shooting for 140+mph trap speeds.

Ya, I figured it would be fast. If they run it with the 850HP tune it could go 145 ish MPH. I could see the LQ9 rods, and pistons handling that, they are a lot beefier than the pre 05 LQ4 stuff.

I agree. As long as no fueling issue's come up it should hold up fairly well. The last setup lasted for 1500 miles or so. Most of that wide open.

This kind of thing certainly is attention getting from me though. Lately on here it seems some are just trying to see how much boost they can make. I have more interest in seeing how much power can be made with 6-10psi of boost (streetable numbers to me).
