im going to be building my ls for boost. right now the head is in a 100 pieces and the block is completely stripped. im going to be building on a budget. the block need some work and im wanting to get low compression pistions the lowest i have found have been right around 450 new. does anyone know where i can find some cheaper. i will probably need rods since my buddy threw one away along with the messed up piston. basically im looking for some good web sites that have low prices. any help would be great. thanks in advance.

You can't be on a budget for boost.

well im wanting to do it right, just want to get the best prices i can on the net. so far the build i got is mostly from tunerschoice.com and it is right at 2000 that is for the head and block basically rebuilt for boost. im just looking for better priced web sites. can you contribute?

are the sleeves stock? I would bore it to 81.5mm max if you are going to turbo it.
