Still shiny!
Question for you though. I know there's a whole bunch of noobs doing it and you may not wanna be "conformist" or what have you, but why don't you just boost the damn thing? lol |

I'm not boosting it because I'm doing an engine swap. And I'm building the engine for high compression, cams, etc. I should be able to take it over 9k no problem when I'm done. If I were to ever boost it, I would want to do it in a way that would last and actually hold boost. I would have to re sleeve the block, probably replace the whole rotating assembly, hone the head, and get a turbo kit. Basically, if I wanted boost done the way I would like it, it would run me upwards of $4000 or more added to the cost...
By going high compression, I can actually afford to finish the basic build before I get out of college, and I'll still probably be able to outrun a lot of the boosted ones around me, since they all slap ebay kits on stock engines. |

GSR's aren't easy to find around here.
Besides, the LS has a bigger stroke and with the boring that I had done, it's at 1.9L now. And the cams I'm getting are more aggressive than the vtec cam profile of a gsr. And with the gsr pistons in my LS, I'll be at 11.4:1 compression compared to the GSR's 10:1. And, I *could* boost it on stock internals. With the low compression of the LS when stock, they're pretty awesome engines to hold boost, I know people that run 11-14psi on stock internals in the LS. But I'd rather have high compression. This isn't being built to be a drag car, that's what my camaro is for. This is being built for my personal tastes. |
