Re: Forced With a Decision (LS2 or LQ9)

yeah the ms5 would be great for boost. but the MS9.2 is made for MAX n/a horsepower. 216/264 .787/.651 108 lsa +15 degrees of advancement. its kinda high on the intake side on lift so ive seen people to use a stock size intake valve for a 243 head 2.00 and whatever head you use MUST be recut and a 2.16 ls3 valve be installed on the exhaust side.

Re: Forced With a Decision (LS2 or LQ9)

well let me rephrase the question, obviously any motor can be stroked, but what would be considered overkill on a stroked ls2?

a 5 inch stroke is a bit overkill on a ls2 block unless you grind off some on the main caps... then your good

is it possible to put a ls7 rotating assembly into a lq9, seeing as the ls2 block can't be bored

ls7 rotating assembly into a ls2 block = perfect fit. pistons, rods, crank etc.

Yeah. Guy keeps to himself tho. But hes good. Does stainless chrome, aluminum chrome and chromed glass finishes on cylinder walls for lsx engines and titanium chrome for big block ford engines. Chromed glass is for high boost apps so it wouldnt be needed. Chromed aluminum would be my choice for cylinder walls!

Re: Forced With a Decision (LS2 or LQ9)

nasty, i've got some chromed drop in sleeves you could have...after reading your build thread i know they will work with your piston bore. you won't even have to pull the heads to put them in. the dude i bought them from said they would drop cylinder temps by 60* and easily increase power to the wheels by 45-55hp.
