I would also get a full fuel system and ditch the BAP at 800rwhp. Then turn it up and make mid 800's!

Not looking to forge right now either, as long as I can keep detonation away I think I will be "safe"

I'd do a fuel system at a minimum...you are really goung to be tapped out with the pump and boost a pump. Likely maxxing out the meth as well.

I would look into fuel pump and maybe pistons. I'm still debating a sleeved block or not for my build. Vengance, lethal, and some other shops are all saying stock ls7 block is good for 850rwhp so just throw some pistons on the stock rods and be happy.

Exhaust valves, pistons and a real fuel setup.

Fuel pump will come later, pistons will come much later if it stays together for a while since it won't see hard driving all the time, spirited blasts here and there and a few runs at the strip, plenty of boosted LS7'S around on stock bottoms so the fear of blowing up is in the back of my mind, since nothing is "bullet proof"

Why would you ask for suggestions and opinions if you weren't going to take them? Everybody's telling you to do pistons and fuel system for a reason. I'm not interested in starting conflict, just curious concerning your motivations.

Even w/ a z06 pump you're going to be dropping pressure w/ the BAP at that horsepower level. It just depends on if you're ok making that power with probably sub-50psi fuel pressure. You don't want to rely on the meth for fuel.

to be honest I see this making low 700's unless I am missing something.

No, I was thinking the same thing. Needs MOAR boost to clear 800's.

x2. I don't see him making that power unless he does a cam and pushes more boost...750 with a cam and 10-12 psi is more theasible. Still will be maxxing out the pump and relying on meth.

I apologize, just noticed that. Do you know the specs on the cam? Wonder if it is boost friendly.
