Solid looking parts. Those pistons have a nice, thick top ring land. Boost away.

I'd say you'd be good for at least 15lbs of boost. With your forged parts and a good tune, probably even more, maybe 20lbs. But that would be pushing things.

I built a ls1 in March for a local guy, on the dyno this past Saturday it made 440 rwhp 415 torque NA. I'm sure with a good cam and head combo you can hit 500 NA

there is going to be a bit of a delay on the engine due to health concerns of my wife and our unborn baby. once we are in the clear i will jump back into this project.
