98 Silverado. Ready for an LQ4
Alright guys, Im F-ing brand new to this. Ive had my truck for about ten years and just bought an LQ4 on Friday. It needs a complete rebuild. Im looking to make 450-480 Horse.
Items I have already..
LQ4-Short block
Fast LsxR Intake
L92-Bare Heads.
From all the research Ive done, I understand I'm on the right track.
I want to rebuild the Bottom end to OEM specs and concentrate the work on the Top end.
Any Suggestions???

Not that i wouldnt mind doing some work to the bottom end i just dont want to go overboard. I really want to stick around the 450 range. Beyond that would just be a headache.

I'd send the heads away to a good reputable porter. I'm all for making power with great heads instead of an oversized cam. Which I'd say get one spec'd once you get the heads back with a flow sheet. I don't know enough about the square port head motors to set you in a direction on a cam.
Also if you're doing the bottom end, flat top (LQ9) pistons would be a good idea.

I got my tranny done about two years ago with a Monster Kit from Monster Transmissions. They rate the Tranny for 500 HP, so i hope theyre right...As far as Internals Ive heard that i should not have a problem with an factory spec rebuild..Which is great...I just need to find a good machine shop in Miami now? any references would be good.
