Turdbo, might be the better torque low range torque figures of the LS2 due to the .3 extra liters of displacement. Early LS1's had a slightly larger camshaft, because they had to go with a smaller bumpstick when GM threw on the LS6 intake manifold. Not sure what year though... The LS2 runs the old 405hp LS6 heads as well, which are a good bit better than the stock LS1 pieces. Raised intake ports, and a redesigned combustion chamber shape help it make the jump from 10.x:1 (x is a lower number, like 1 or 2 i think) in the LS1 to like 11.0:1 in the LS2. All that goes along with the improved exhaust manifolds and other bits and pieces like certain sensors (knock and one other) being moved around. They are still very similar motors, just with upgraded parts. And Paxton/Nospower, (a) you have a split personality, (b) you didn't post ---- for info, other than just generalized statements. And the 572 Crate motor is a piece of ---- for how much you pay. Isn't it around like $15-$18k? Henry |
Re: The LS1 Engine swap....
Gearing could have also played a factor in that. Some cars might have been able to keep the rev's in the sweet spot around 3500-4000 rpm and really come out of the turns hard. Suspension plays a big part in that as well. and it might not make a difference, but I think the LS2 is 10 or 20lbs lighter than the LS1. On a road course only car, I'd love to see a 944 or RX7 running something like a 302 or 327 small block just to be able to rev to high hell and back. Of course, a DZ302 motor is a bit expensive to put in anything but a Camaro just in terms of resale value. But you could put together your own 302/327 for relatively cheap. Just don't go with the GM pink 327 rods, unless you want to be limited to about 400hp or so. Shouldn't be a problem though. And you are right, I don't know squat about LSx motors or anything car related. I have been talking out of my ass this whole time. Sorry for being a traitor...

Paxtonboost, I highly doubt you are in your 30's. You have posted 100+ times since your oct.19th signup date. This leads me to believe that you have very limited contact with women.
