Intake exhaust blah blah, I'm retiring from the lt1/ls1 family and goin with the LSJ I guess but I was wondering what all do they make for our cars internal wise? Cuz that intake/exhaust bullshit is overdone.

Are there cams, bigger superchargers (not pulley kits), pistons, forged goodies??

Let me know what some of you guys are running and where you got the stuff

Thanks in advance.

If you really are from the LS1 community then you would know that if you posted this on their forums they would say........

There are cams from JBP I believe but you will need a tune to run them or they won't function correctly. There are no supercharger swaps to date but there is one RL that is twincharged (turbo&blower). Diamond has forged replacement pistons in stock bore size with either 10-1 or 10.5-1 compression ratios. There are also a couple of CNC'd heads out there from both GM and JBP. There isn't much else internally that needs replaced. The rods are strong, the crank is forged and cradled. You're basically down to bolt ons and tuning after replacing the pistons and head. Hope this helps.

Well mabye we dont have to be so blunt, but yeah look it up. there parts out there but not too many of us have them installed.

well the JBP cams do work, but the car would definetly benifit from some tuneing, I'm also upgrading my valve springs and retainers so that I'll be safe with a higher redline, not that I have the cams.

supossidly all internals are ok up to 300HP then the first to change will be the pistons to something forged , then the valve springs.

but JBP does also offer new connecting rods for those who are really looking to get up there interms of power.

so right know your looking at:
complete valvetrain upgrade (only at JBP some valve springs and retainers from some vendors)
Forged pistons (Diamond or GM)
connecting rods (JBP)
cams (JBP & crane or comp cams is still working on it)
no direct supercharger swap yet
twincharger ( soon to come)

There is also a GM Performance book for the ecotec, you can probably get one from your local dealer.
