    Default LSA swap at 140k?

    Hi all,
    I did a cam/head rebuild 15k ago when my DoD lifter failed. I was surprised how clean the cylinder walls were compared to some of the older 350 stuff I've rebuild. Well I'm bored with the power and about to start ordering stuff for a LSA build.
    Am I being foolish putting a blower on such a high mileage engine? It does not burn oil and holds great pressure. I want to get a ATI pulley so I can go higher in the future but I plan on keeping everything around stock boost levels until I do a engine swap next winter.

    Stuff I plan on doing now;
    Squash fuel system
    LSA swap
    Axles
    rear BMR suspension.

    Stuff to be done next summer pending it holds together;
    Engine
    Trans

    However, moon boost is where the glory is.

    Since you're doing axles and fuel pump you can go fairly crazy. I've read the stock rotating assembly can do 750 no problem.

Airaid intake, Kooks 1 7/8" lt's, cats, midpipe, SLP PowerFlow exhaust. Pedders lowered touring package. Baer Pro front brakes. ForgeStar F14 GunMetal 19x8.5 Michelin Pilot Sport a/s.

    Lotta boost is gonna make heat. Are you planning on staying on 93, or looking at other options?
