lol that is so true I am sitting at 550HP and 564 tourqe and it cost me a pretty penny. I got mine bored out tho too. I should have just got a LQ4 and had it built. that is in the works tho. :)

Why not the LQ9, are you planning on forced induction?

LQ9 costs more money. So much more here that it's not worth it just for 20 extra ponies. Especially when the only difference between the two is pistons.

Those are some impressive numbers, are you F/I? If not, what are you running to get that?

I figured you were looking to go with Forced induction. LQ9 is too high compression to take much boost though it sure makes good HP N/A. Hope the build goes well.

What kind of dyno was that on? Those numbers seem a tad on the inflated side with out huge displacement or F/I, especially the TQ.
