some suggestions on forging please
Going over my future set-up in my head (by this winter I want to buy a Novi 2000, new clutch, alky kit, and tune) I was thinking that since my LS6 has low miles on and with all the impressive numbers I have been seeing from some of the forged 346's I have no reason to switch to a new forged 402 LS2 block. I would do the 402 if my engine had many miles on it but it does not so in my eyes there is no need. My question is simply a matter of pricing. If I just wanted to have my block forged to run 14-15 psi on the Novi when ECS installs the blower does anyone have any idea how much money I'm looking at and roughly how much power and tq my 03 z06 would be making?? Thanks guys

The price of forging depends on the parts that you buy..
Stock Crank vs Callies Crank
Diamond Pistons vs JE
I could go on about the cost of parts, but without knowing what your budget is, its hard to go further..
Andy offers forged short blocks in the 3-4k range.
You can also ARP stud the motor, that will also add cost.
Since you are forging the block to handle more power you may want to upgrade the heads and headers too. More $
