Break it down, mic/blueprint everything and machine where necessary. Slight port on the LS7 CNC heads, possibly thow some Manley race valves in there (tbd). Match a cam to the best flow rate I can get. Order some custom Mahle pistons (builder likes those) and coat those and the stock titanium forged rods. Crank is already forged and balance the whole assy. Zero balance the alum Mcleod flywheel. This should give me as strong a bottom/top end as possible, but I'm open to critique...

I'm leaning toward an update to the dry sump system. I'll get w Jon @ Speartech and get a flash to match the mods for initial start up and then go to a chasis dyno....once i get out of jail and finish the build. :haha:
