RoB's Ton of Boost Build.... Day 1

[Foose04]

It's here, the chevy's next "little" mota. Goal? Ton of boost and keep it together. I've gone pretty far on the stock stuff, really excited to see where I can go on a forged setup.

Looking to be a little different then most LS builds. Won't be the standard 370/408 iron block and 90+mm. It will be a small cube build. I want to keep the walls thick and the weight down. I plan to use some thick deck heads and let the boost make up for displacement. The way I always have.

The block is a L33 5.3/327 Aluminum block. Looking to get a light bore and clean up to get me started. Need some recommendations on a good local machine shop. Next will be ordering a forged rotating assembly and picking out the crank stroke.

The build won't happen over night, i'm currently in no rush as long as the 4.8L can hold on the rest of this year. I'd like to have it ready to fire off first of next year though.

Thanks guys, I'll keep this thread updated along the way.
