Is this no longer an issue with the taller decks of the LSx ?
Steve --- LOVE the updates -- like Eric said - it's fun to live vicariously.

It is.. but again after talking with Brian Nutter at Wiseco he feels his piston design will be good to go. My rod choices consist of one size. 6.125.. At least from the Lunati catalog that I'm dealing with.
We will see if they are right

Yep.. and to be honest that's really goal. Personally I didn't want anything bigger than a 440, but the 454 just sounds so damn sexy.
I'm going to cam it down so that it still has a great street idle. I guess you could say that I'm going to size the cam like the engine is a 440 and the extra displacement will help smooth stuff out. I would be happy with 650/600 but after running this 440 last week I think it might be more.
