Katech LS7 enhancement forged pistons

[BOOSTMASTER]

We have been doing testing and it looks like 100 hp increases will be fairly
easy with a camshaft, headers and induction.

We will be announcing camshaft selections soon.

We have LS7 forged pistons for higher horsepower engines as well as dished
pistons for superchargers.

We are also currently machining 12.0:1 compression ratio pistons. Weighing
50 grams less than stock it reduces the stresses on the reciprocating
assembly and increases compression for more power. These are for race gas,
off-road applications. These are hard anodized over the whole piston - ring
grooves and pin bore for better durability. We can also put optional skirt
coatings on if needed. They have more valve pocket relief for bigger cams
as well.

Katech:

Is your LS7 head & cam package for street/daily drivers or track use only?

No, you could use the cam on the street, but the idle is pretty aggressive and would have to be pretty high for street use. We've found another cam that will be much better for the street. We're testing it in the next week in a development engine.

Thanks...keep us up-dated on the results.
