#185767 "10 psi" is not a power goal. 10lbs on a large turbo is way different than 10lbs on a small one, so psi is irrelevant.. What kind of WHP do you wanna make?


a stock LS is good to about 300whp with proper tuning. If you already have the block apart, i'd suggest forged rods.



I'm about to boost my stock LS, I have a thread going in the BOOST section :thumb:

very true its not boost that makes hp, is cfm... the two kinda go hand in hand, you dont have one with out the other... but then you get into compressor size and compressor maps and and all that... thats a bit off this topic but this is basicly what it mean...

10 psi @ 1500cfm
10 psi @ 3000cfm this numbers are strickly for an example... not actually numbers at all :lol:
the one with more cfm will make more power...

and you should be more than fine with those power goals... just make all your clearences right inside the engine, and stock parts should serve you just fine :thumb:
