I'm still in the process of slapping together a rebuild on the LT1 and am looking for some input from those of you that have built engines with high horsepower in mind. My relative goal is to reach over 500 rwhp when all is said and done with the aid of a 12psi blower. Here's the list for what I've got going into the RS (Radical Sleeper)

GM 1053 forged 3.48" 1pc
Childs & Albert 5.7" Trackmaster 4340 forged rods
TRW 21cc forged dished pistons
King alecular bearings
Plasma-moly file-fit rings
Melling HV oil pump
Milodon billet 4-bolt splayed main caps

GTP Stage 2 LT1 heads (295cfm @ .060)
2.00/1.56
dual valvesprings (probably Comp)
ferrea valves
Trick Flow chrome moly .080"wall 5/16 1pc pushrods
Crane 'R' series lifters
AFR hydra-rev kit
Custom grind cam - 226/234 .554/.545 114
Comp Pro Magnum 1.6/1.5 rockers
Intake port-matched to heads and opened at mouth to accept up to 58mm tb
AFPR
#30 SVO injectors
SLP 1 3/4" headers w/ y-pipe
3" cat and piping through dynomax w/cut-out
4.10s
and an ATI D-1sc 12psi intercooled blower coming in 1 or 2 more seasons.


I'm feeling that that is a pretty good layout, solid enough to take some abuse and make some serious power when all is said and done.

Any comments or suggestions for better parts in any areas?

i think you'd get more help on the power adder board so i'll move it there.
