But i'm particular, I spent 4K on a 300hp motor, lol. So I have my reasons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_LS_engine Lots of them, just everyone wants an aluminum block one. Quick break down of the aluminum block ones that were available in the US LS1 5.7L (350cu in) 98-02 Camaro 97-04 Vette 04 GTO LS2 6.0 (364) 05-06 GTO 05-07 Vette 06-09 CTS V 06-09 Trailblazer SS (and rebadged saab also) LS3 6.2 (376) 08-Current Vette 09 G8 Current Camaros LS4 5.3 (325) (the odd one since it's setup transverse, not sure what you need for a conversion) 06-09 Impala 06-07 Monte Carlo 05-08 Grand Prix 08-09 LaCrosse There are a few more LS motors, but probably not worth the money since they'll be pricey if you find them. Around here this is the price break down that I usually see for complete motors LS1 2K~4K LS2 3K~6K LS3 6K+ LS4 1K~3K (cheap for a reason) This post has been edited by sigma projects on Aug 6 2012, 10:45 PM |

you're an idiot if you think an LS motor will only make 350hp. | ||

Interesting PDF.. If I remember right, it's now pushing over 700hp but not sure about the bottom end.. And the best part of it is that the stock engine management can be tuned by freeware software and it's capable for almost 600hp. Not sure if JZW has figured out how to raise RPM limiter becouse that's the only limiting factor on Trionic right now.. How did I ever came a Saab-fanboy? Please kill me, NOW! But now on-topic, RB26. Why? Becouse it's mated up with one of the world's best drivetrain and chassis. This post has been edited by TTH on Nov 15 2012, 12:32 PM |
