starting my build, thoughts,suggestions,opinions welcome
i will be starting the second phase of my build in the up coming weeks so any input will be appreciated
car as of today, 06 zo6 LS7"stock bottom" with black mamba cam ARH long tubes with cats and modded mufflers.
starting in the next few weeks.
procharger D1SC pulley size not yet decided i want to run 10-11 psi.
ECS meth kit, i have a new one left over from my c5z that i will be using, it's a single nozzle but i may do a dual set up.
ID850's KB BAP racetronix harness
DP big mouth
right now the goal is to make 780-800 rwhp range so give me some feedback

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.

Pistons.

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"

I thought the same but now that i'm pulling the motor i would do pistons.

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.
