Default Anyone pushing an aluminum block?
I just picked up a aluminum block LSI. I would like to freshen it up, and swap it into my 70K20, or use it as a spare engine. I will be running 317's, truck gaskets, and studs. Planning on a T67, or T70 @10~12PSI MAX. Thanks, J

I've pushed them pretty hard. You can push an LS1 block to a 900-1000 rwhp... with the 01-up blocks being preferred. The C5 guys do it quite often. I have an LS6 just in case the lil ole 5.3 starts wheezin ... and yes, the boost will go up if I build it

Consistant mid 11's, and an accidental high 10 on occasion That 70 weighs about the same as my 03 but takes alot more HP to push.
