What do you think?
I have an engine build in the works for my truck..
Just was curious what you guys would think of power expectations and if ya'll had any tips or criticisms.
Iron 346ci 5.7 "LS1"
Stock Internals
ARP Rod Bolts
Ported and Polished LS6 heads
LS7 lifters
Harland Sharp 1.7 Rockers
Patriot Dual Gold Springs
Titanium Retainers
Hardened Pushrods
Aggressive NA/Spray Cam
ARP 12pt Headstuds
LS6 intake or FAST90 if I get a can find a good deal on one when the time comes.
So far thats what I have planned... Haven't really put much thought into a cam yet.
I do know I'm wanting something aggressive for the strip. Truck isn't going to be a DD anymore either so I'm not extremely worried about MPG.
Planning on putting a NitrousOutlet Wet Plate kit on it also.
Engine will be mated up to a 4L80 then ran to a braced 10 bolt with Eaton Posi and 4.10s.
I have the block and the internals already along with the ARP hardware.
Just let me know what you think... not expecting a straight up beast but I know it'll be quite the upgrade from my 4.8

thanks man.
I'm taking pictures throughout the whole build of the suspension, engine, and rest of drivetrain mods.
Plan on making a half decent thread of it when I seriously start getting somewhere
