    LS2 kid is the only stock LS2 on here I believe but he is auto so blah.


    I have been impressed with the LS3 motors; as far as what dyno's are reading. I made the power you make stock with I/H/tune.

    I just read all the drama unfolding on CF.com. Those guys just have no clue sometimes. There is "some" good information to be found on there but they like to internet race alot. Unfortunately I dont know of any stock LS2 manuals that would line up.

    I believe the LS3 will :idb: an LS2. Not by alot but a car or 1.5 from a decent roll.

    See, I think I can get at least 2 . Lol, thats why I wanna run one. You think if you raced a stock LS2 you could only get 1.5 cars when you were I/H/tune??

    Congrats on the purchase. Any plans for it?

    I used to live in Vinings until I bought a house. I'm like 20 mins away now. I miss that area.

    Well LS motors are weird and what I mean is some are stronger than others. My car seemed pretty weak from a baseline perspective compared to others. I have seen LS2 stock cars dyno 370ish range when mine stock did 350ish. Odd but happens.

    Yes there was a good difference from stock to I/H mods in my car. I wouldnt second guess 2 cars with a LS3 vs LS2 race. Yours is a Z51 so a non-Z51 might put up a hair better of a fight with the longer 1-3 gearing, but wouldnt make a HUGE difference at the end of the day.

    You are right about that. 2 cars with the same mods will make a 20RWHP differance sometimes more. My car is one of those weak C5Z comparied to most

    well the stock c5z06's are faster than stock ls2's also.... i think a fair race would be a stock c5z06 and an ls3....???
    but i'd be down for a run since i'm curious as to just how much faster those ls3s are..
