Thanks ,is the oiling system in the LS good enough for a 1000HP.I had also heard the stock pistons are fragile and don"t handle knock at allGreat input Dusty

The oiling system is great.
The stock pistons and rods aren't ideal for a lot of power. People have been low 9's and 150mph on them but it's like a 109 block at that level...just a matter of time before it comes apart. I'd say a stock LS short block from the junk yard with some upgraded valve springs is good for high 9's but as with anything, the wrong tune-up and it's boom. The heads are awesome in stock form and easily support low 9 second power.
Rod and piston kits for boosted LS engine are no higher than any other engine so once those are swapped you have a good short block that will run 8's. I have a nice straight Regal body at the house. If I didn't have so many irons in the fire now I'd see just how fast I could go for cheap:biggrin:
