Picked it up not to long ago. Not the first time I've worked with a VQ,
however I'm liking the sound of a v8.
Basically I'm looking into the Ls2 swap along with a supercharger and need some insight on what exactly I'm getting myself into.
Yes, I know I need a conversion kit, motor, transmission..I'm not an idiot. What I'm trying to do is
pick up some knowledge on the tuning for everything, and what all I need to upgrade.
Any advice, readings, really anything that will get me closer to my goal would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

tuning?
i'm guessing once you have everything mounted in and proper, you'll probably use the stock chevy wire harness and ECU

Right I got that. Forgot to add in that I want to supercharge it as well, my bad.

i would say step 1, get the car running

word to the wise as I had 2 friends that had the swap...one with an LS1 and the other with the LS2.

It changes the completely...and if this is for drifting cool...if its for dragging..the car just doesnt respond well...

has issues hooking , putting the power down and cooling issues.....



Good luck !
