    Thats what i thought about it too. I almost refused to build this motor for those exact reasons. However, I like my job and I've learned a lot and had a lot of success in my learning process. I've built 13 engines so far and they've all worked perfectly. 1 of them is in a '96 camaro with a 9lbs supercharger on it, one is in a circle track car that is currently in 6th place in points, 1 is in my bosses boat, and my first ever big block is in a rail dragster that has done pretty well.

    i really reccomend stepping away from this motor and biting it now before the customer trys screwing you guys.... i've been working in shops since i was 16 and i've seen quite a few lawsuits from customers that pull cheap BS like this.... ussually ends up in the owner losing the shop and all the employees loosing their jobs.... the LS1 is a very tight spec motor, and its really easy to mess one up..... the engine shouldn't even built if every thing is either new or remachined for proper spec..... the rings especially..... they are supposed to hold 100% compression even when cold
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day
