Customer dropped his car and we are starting on his E-Force project.
First step will be stock baseline – from there the basic steps..
1) Remove Engine
2) Forged Pistons (-8 cc)
3) ARP Rod Bolts
4) Plate Hone
5) Deck
6) Line Hone
7) Balance and reassemble SB
8) SS Valves
9) Comp Valve Job
10) Dual Springs
11) ARP Studs
12) Assemble long block
13) Install back in Z
14) Install E-Force
We will post as it goes along. The results will be interesting as we can push the boost without fear of crumpling the cast pistons.

Charlie! With the forged pistons what compression ratio will the LS-7 engine now have. It looks like you will be lowering the stock LS-7 compression to compensate for the high boost. Looks like another RPM Motors big HP motor in the making.

Frank,
Keeping it at 10.0:1 and around 10 lbs boost...
Check this chart out. It gives a clear picture of the relationship between static compression ratio and boost pressure and how they equate.

[QUOTE=C_Williams@RPM;1577747878]Frank,

Those numbers should make some big power on a 427ci motor. You must be looking for 850 RWHP with one of your custom tunes and Methanol injected to keep it safe.

Austin! You seem to be expanding your duties at RPM Motors. Besides your duties as shop mechanic it looks like photography was also added to your repertoire of skills.
