Ok heres the scoop i got my LS1 heads on the way, they're going to be ported and polished (Stage1) imediatley. Now this application is going to be runnin for a Turbo setup. My question to you is what kind of gaskets will i need to hold alot of boost first off. And second who makes good pistons, P rings, cranks, and forged rods that can handle this project??? Oh and feel free to let know of other things that i could rebuild or build on to that will help!!!!! Thanks guys

Usually you would want to O-ring the heads and run head studs. Not sure if anyone has/can O-ring the LS1 heads yet.

Yes, there are several sponsors here that o-ring the lsx heads. I believe TEA, AFR and absolute speed all offer that service.

black.. you may want to look into some diamond pistons. I have heard good things about their stuff.

cranks would be either a lunati, eagle. cheapest forged crank is the eagle. Suppose to be good once they sorted out their issues with clearances.

Unless you plan on stroking it the stock crank and rods are plenty strong. If you keep the stock rods I would but ARB rod bolts in them though. But if you do want to go all forged everything Eagle does make some good, economical products.
