Choosing the proper intake manifold can change the engine's characteristics in a major way. Longer intake runners will produce more torque whereas shorter runners are more for high HP!

Proper engine break-in is crucial for longevity. Multiple oil changes, filter inspections, and retorquing are key. Take the time to do it right - your engine will thank you with years of strong performance.

Getting your engine dyno tested is the best way to ensure that is fully broken in and ready to run. This also allows you to know how much HP the engine truly makes!

Unlock hidden potential in your cylinder heads through custom porting. Proper CNC work paired with quality valves can significantly boost flow. It's an investment that pays off in performance.

Starting a new LS engine build? Consider a GM LY6 6.0L cast iron block and then reinforce it with ARP Main studs. This combo can handle some serious power when matched with the correct internal components.

Quality matters in engine building. Consider sourcing American-made components for your next build. It's not just about patriotism - it's about accessing top-tier parts with reliable supply chains.

LS swap enthusiasts: Simplify your build with a pre-tuned EFI system. A plug-and-play solution can save hours of tuning time. Drop it in, connect, and fire up - get back to driving sooner.

Building a versatile engine? A well-designed 416 stroker can fit everything from late-model Camaros to classic car LS swaps. One smart build can open up a world of possibilities for your projects.

Pro tip for engine rebuilders: Don't overlook those hard-to-reach oil galleries. A high-heat cleaning process ensures every part of your block is pristine. Clean foundations lead to powerful, long-lasting builds.

Having a clean engine block is the first step in any successful engine build. We clean each LS engine block in a two step wash process running brushes through each oil gallery to ensure no debris is present. This washing process helps ensure the engine is clean on assembly and...

Engine priming is not a step to be skipped. Ensure all bearing surfaces are properly lubricated before first start-up. A few minutes of preparation can prevent a lifetime of regret.

Different materials expand at different rates under heat. Always adjust your assembly tolerances based on the materials you're working with. What works for iron might not work for aluminum.

When it comes to engine assembly, orientation matters. Always double-check the correct positioning of gaskets and components. A simple mistake can lead to immediate overheating and engine failure.

Proper oil flow is the lifeblood of any engine. Ensure all oil passages are clear and components are designed to allow proper drainage. Stagnant oil can't do its job effectively.

Custom engine builds require extra attention to detail. Always check for component clearances throughout the entire rotation. A little interference can cause major damage.

Building a reliable 1000 HP LS isn't about fancy tricks. It's about using proven components, precise machining, and careful assembly. Follow a blueprint from experienced builders to avoid costly mistakes.

Want an easy path to 1000+ HP in your LS? Consider a positive displacement supercharger. The Whipple 3.0 or Magnuson 2650 can reliably reach this power level with proper supporting mods.

For 1000+ HP LS builds, a high-flow cylinder head is essential. Our CNC-ported LS3-style heads feature fully machined runners and combustion chambers, maximizing airflow for both NA and boosted applications.

Choosing the right camshaft is crucial for LS power. We rely on BTR cams, offering options for both positive displacement and turbo applications. Match the cam to your power goals and forced induction setup.
