stock gm lt1 connecting rods..how much power can they handle?
ok eds where do i get.. a 12lb pulley and rib belt etc setup. also if i were around 8.8 to 1 compression or 9.0 to 1...what would be a safe lb boost to run...i dont know what sort of hp this engine will put out...in reguards to the 2 core intercooler......i mean could i go 15 lbs boost...on a 8.8 to 1 compression 355 and still be ok? would bosch 24lb injectors support 550 hp or so at the motor? im contacting comp cams now in reguards to a custom cam...hoping to hear from rich rskrause..and then go from there...thanks for the help
