If it was 420 cubic inches would it be as impressive? And for your stereo comparison hit 170 bd with a 10 inch sub instead of a 15 inch sub. That is kinda the comparison here. Putting aftermarket rods and pistons in it don’t add any hp what so ever it just gives the motor longevity. So if no one has ever taken a ls1(346) on nitrous into the 8’s, stock or modified, and it’s been out since 1998 then clearly it’s not that easy. 420ci is impressive becasue thats an awefull long stroke to get there! lol Play it the other way, why not put a LR4 crank in it and knock it down to 311ci? If ya still stick some baller ass pistons & rods in it to take the abuse, why not just put a bigger jet in the plates to make up for the displacment difference. thus taking some of the CI argument relivance away. Its aparant the car has the DL and the setup to plant the power and hit a goal. Thats the impressive part IMO. My point is its just not mind blowing to me just becasue its +/- 50ci or something. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/first-ever-ls1-on-nitrous-in-8s/266643)._
