Default BOOOOST build question.....

Is there anything else I can do without ripping apart my bottom end that will make my LS more ready for boost?

This is what i have in plan so far....I plan on making around 260-280whp on a LS.

-ARP rod bolts, ARP head studs, and new OEM headgasket.

To put on da arp rod bolt ur gonna have to rip apart the bottom end. Since ur gonna take out the piston u might as well get new piston rings.

why dont you get a thicker head gasket, I was gonna say block guard but you have to get that pressed in, throw some cams in it

Leave it at what you have listed. 280 is nothing on a stock setup.

+1 dont rip it apart, leave it all stock, hell look at my setup just put 100k on my engine. It's never been pulled or anything before and im a 14.5lbs of boost with 10k on my setup and a/c making about 265whp which is plenty for right now.
