> lt1 does not have low compression, hence why it went to a reverse cooling system in hopes to run more compression, i believe its 10:1 cr
I was trying to say the 5.3 LSX is low compression, 9.5:1. LT1 is 10.5:1 unless it was a B-body iron head version that was 9.8:1. Stock LS1 is 10.1:1 and LS6 10.5:1
We all cleared up?
Im all for this LT1 swap especially considering its on a tight budget and Fluffy doesn’t need to kill himself yet.

That does sound like a turd. LT1s usually pull gud to 6k. That sounds like TPI status to me.
