Default ls3 forged+f1a= la joe gibbs new motor

well like the title says guys, i blew a head gasket not that long ago and came across daryns ls3 forged (6.2) went and picked it up yesterday, it was a bad *** deal, thanks again daryn, well the plans for it is selling the cam it has now, the heads too and slapping some ls9 head gaskets and maybe LSA heads, and specting out a cam for it so it cam take out as much power as it can, the 8 rib is already on the truck, i am also going to pin the crank so the pulley wont get loose no more and try to shoot for 20psi. Hope it holds, what yal think..??

Sounds like a plan! Those lsa heads will be a good option for you. Don't forget to checkout the Holley Hi ram ls3 intake, it is the best intake I've seen and pretty cheap, should make good power over your intake. 20psi should make close to 900.

You plan to do pump gas and meth or e85

I wanna say e85 since I have the injectors for it, but not sure yet
