I have a LS3, regardless, I hear you, my A6 is holding me back, hence just going with the D1 I got from Jason, but I will have a foundation "forged motor and fuel system" for a bigger build down the road when they get the A6 all figured out "ex. get a F1-R, 1 huge turbo, or YSI"

Have you given Century Transmission a call yet about their 6L80 upgrade? I'm up to 54 passes with mine and should be up to at least 60 after tomorrow night's races.

I am putting forged rods in it, just will not have a forged crank.. My builder says that crank is fine for what I want.. so no, not 100% forged because of the crank.. you are correct..
