fast and LS don't go together, sorry but its the truth.Originally Posted by hmong_Spec
There are ways, but the cost is outrageous. For example, and N/A build will cost almost twice as much than if you chose boost. Breaking 170ish-180sih whp in a LS vs the cost would not be worth it, even with some nice cams, and a bump in compression. You would also have to get tuned if you installed anything other than stage 1 cams (most aftermarket stage 1 cams have stock idle characteristics), which will cost more after the tune.
LS/V- the easiest way to extract power from your motor. Your LS shortblock has a slightly longer stroke than a gsr block which is the reason why your TQ is higher. Cost would be around $500-1000 to get the job done, i.e. Golden eagle ls/v kit, vtec head. Problem is the tranny, you will need to invest in a diff. tranny which will end up costing more.
N/A LS- very costly and doesn't make that much power. If you're aiming to break 200whp, then its going to cost you $$$$$$. Still need a tranny in this case too, the stock tranny is garbage for n/a.
Boost/spray- makes the most power out of the 3, the cost vs power gains makes sense because you could piece together a decent kit for under $1000. The ls tranny is suitable for this setup. You can run a basemap for daily driving if tuning is an issue. Phearable.net has some really good basemaps.
