Rectangle port intake options
I’m building a l92, what options are good for the intake? I see many options from ls3 to fabricated Jegs/amazon options. What are worth running?

Ls main bolts
I have been told that ls main bolts are not torque to yield and can be reused. I just had one twist off on my L92 that has never had the crank out of it as far as I know. Is this a common problem? Should the main bolts always be replaced?

Decision time - Injectors
Hey guys, Time to order some injectors. Rather than use the ones I had in my prior build, I think I "might" want to just get some new ones. But I have a few questions. My goal is to build a reliable, fun, street motor. It's in a third gen F-Body with a T56. 1. How accurate are most companies out of the box without verifying their stated flow rate? 2. Need help settling on a good brand if I go that route. 3. Are my current injectors (Bosch 280150558) worth reusing after a sonic cleaning and flow-match? Current combo used green top (casting 280150558, rated at 42# - have seen 43.5# on some sites). My build is N/A and anticipated to stay that way for awhile. I will be verifying my prior tune with HP Tuners. Here's my combo: Block - 6.0 iron, bored .030 over (4.030”) Crank shaft- Stock, 3.622” stroke, ground .010” Main bearings - King MB5293MC .010 (Standard bi-metal aluminum silicon with anti-friction coating) Pistons - Mahle PowerPak 4032 forged 4.030" with .945" wrist pins Connecting rods - K1 Technology 012AE29610 forged 4340 H-beam (6.098” with .945” wrist pin) Connecting rod bearings - King CR807SI .010 Oil pump - Melling 10295 with mid-level spring Oil pump barbell - Improved Racing (reusing, with inspection ) Oil pan - Stock 98-02 LS (reusing, with inspection Oil pan baffle - Improved Racing (reusing, with inspection ) Camshaft bearings - King CS5171HPT Camshaft - BTR LS3 Stage 3 v2 (reusing, with inspection) Timing chain - Cloyes Hex-a-Just (reusing, with inspection) Timing chain damper - Trickflow Specialties (reusing, with inspection) Lifter buckets - new GM (reusing, with inspection) Lifters - LS7 (reusing, with inspection) Heads - stock 243 castings Valvesprings - BTR upgraded (reusing, with inspection) Head gaskets - GM 12610046 (4.100" - .051" compressed thickness) Head bolts - reusing ARP (torqued 1 time, reusing with inspection) Pushrods - 7.400" x .080" (reusing, with inspection) Rocker arms - (reusing stock rockers, with inspection)
Anyone see any issues with this combo?
Installed in a third gen Camaro. T56, street car. Hoping for 450 wheel but maybe a bit on the hopeful side for that. My Mahle compression ratio calculator specs out around 10:37:1 with a .051 gasket on a 64cc with 0 deck. A 0.030" skim off the heads puts it at 10.6:1 which is pretty pump gas friendly with that cam and 91 here in California. I definitely plan to verify that deck height before bolting it all together, though. Thoughts? Leaning toward Michigan Motorsports or King SI bearings. Unsure on that as they're in the same price point. Block: 6.0, bored .030 (4.030") Crank: Stock, ground .010" and polished Rods: K1 Technologies forged 6.098" H-beam with .945 wrist pins Pistons: Mahle PowerPak forged 4032 with .945 wrist pin Cam: BTR LS3 Stage 3 V2 Heads: 243 castings with upgraded BTR springs Rocker arms: Stock with BTR trunnion upgrade Oil pump: Melling 10295 with mid-level spring Pushrods: BTR .080 wall 7.400" Lifters: stock LS7 with new buckets Timing chain: Cloyes Hex-a-Just Timing chain damper: Trickflow Specialties Head gasket: 4.100" LS9 GM (.051" compressed) Valve covers: Holley tall (to accommodate the trunnion upgrade) Intake: FAST 92mm Throttle body: Motion Racework's 92mm Injectors: 42mm Catch can: Mighty Mouse Steam line: ICT 4-port kit Oil pan: Stock LS with Improved Racing baffle Oil barbell: Improved Racing Radiator: Stock 4th gen with 4th gen dual fans
Looking for some advice
I have a third gen Camaro. The build was 6.0 LQ9 ATK short block with 243 heads and BTR LS3 cam, Fast 92, etc. Motor broke pistons 5 and 7 after about 300 miles. Both pistons had broken lands between top and bottom compression rings. ATK blames detonation. Piston manufacturer estimates ring gap and butting ends. Shop said pig rich (it was dyno tuned). Going to a local rebuild shop. Should I: - rebuild and enjoy it with a couple new parts I purchased: Motion Raceworks throttle body, ICT Billet 4 port steam kit, and Mighty Mouse catch can. Purchase new hypereutectic pistons, polish the crank, balance it. - Stroke it to 408
