I say do a piston swap on the lq4 and upgrade the rod bolts that way you can throw more at it and not trash your motor. I think with that you will be able to get almost all you may NEED out of the motor before failure. plus it gives you the chance to do rings and bearings while your at it

Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO

I thought about it but for now I'm just planning on tossing the motor in. Only thing I'm planning on doing is a cam.
After scattering a motor I had 10g's into I'm a little gun shy to spend money on a bottom end for now. If I tear up a couple quick then maybe I'll upgrade but at $6-700 a pop I'll treat them like fuses for now lol.

A few years down the road after the body is done I may build a real motor and shoot four four digit power numbers but for now this will do
