Budget Turbo Kit Build HELP!!
Yes, I'm keeping the block stock. I'm not willing to put in the time or money to get more horsepower that I'm probably not going to be able to harness well on say our local track at VIR.
Plus, I've researched a lot - unlike what you are claiming. I'm finding that most are more happy when they go a conservative FI build on stock block, say 420-470 whp. Less money, less headaches. There's been too many positive experiences with our HRs to not try this route.
Yeah, I didn't articulate my thought well enough when I stated that.
My initial response was based on v-8 sports automobiles with higher power numbers in mind. Saying that most v-8s don't have forged internals is purely speculative though. Edit: Unless we have data to prove this.
I'm still waiting on Alberto to admit what he said. It's what started this whole shenanigans.

- LS1
- LS6
- LS2
- LS3
- 5.7L Hemi
- 6.1L Hemi
- 6.4L Hemi
- Coyote 5.0L
Even the supercharged LSA motor used in the Cadillac CTS-V and Camaro ZL1 has cast pistons.
So it's not speculation. Your assertion is still incorrect.

Last I checked you started this whole "shenanigans" nismo by calling alberto a troll.
He's not a troll, not in the least bit.
The only troll in here is you. Everyone else just doesn't like you because your a self absorbed ignoramus.

Damn. It must be sux to be a Nismo owner who get
OK, let's look beyond the Ford motors you mentioned from only a couple versions of the Mustang and look at some mass produced naturally aspirated V-8 motors that are popularly modded, boosted, and/or swapped which do not have forged internals:

LMAO The 5.3L LS4 does not have forged internals and was made for FWD applications. As I already stated, the LSA has cast pistons.
The LS7 and LS9 have forged internals. But as someone pointed out earlier, the titanium rods in the LS7 have had issues. Furthermore, the LS9 is a 6.2L because the boost required thicker cylinder walls than in the 7.0L LS7.
Two motors from 2 versions of the Corvette doesn't prove your point.

I would like to research the various platforms and their internals. Probably won't happen tonight.
