Bye-bye guys; it was nice knowing ya'll :/

[Alex]

Just "bought" (will see it in 5-7mths probably) my engine.

A nice and simple LS2

.....that's been stroked and poked

..........and core RED sleeved

....................to a 457

............................. doing somewhere between 640RWhp and 680RWhp* n/a.

bye-bye :lipsrsealed:



*We havn't finalized the top-end, but it's a toss up between making oodles of power and being able to rev to 7500 and facing some valvetrain spring durability, versus reving to 6000ish, making a little bit less power, but no valvetrain spring issues and having a much lower/fatter power curve. I'm learning towards the latter because i spend 98% of my time around 3000RPM and lower in all my cars. I almost never wring them out past 5000, so what's the point of being able to rev to 7500 if I would naturally stop at 6000 anyways. I guess it's basically a question of wear&tear and do I want to be a dyno queen or make a bit less but have a lot more useable down-low and middle-range power.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention it's a HKE engine; if you're familiar with the LS world, then you know Eric has one of the top reputations out there for building them :thumbsup: ... and Chris at CCperformance (who works with Eric) has some of the most outstanding customer service I've ever seen. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Remember to spread out those tears - death won't be imminent for another 5-7mths :lipsrsealed:

I would hardly call that imminent, but most chevy afflictions are terminal & I have never cried at a chebbie burial, actually come to think of it, most of them are cremations............:thumbsup:

The chebbie reminds me of a terrorist, they detonate themselves a lot.
I wonder if in chebbie heaven they have virgin chebbies? Doubt it, they are all f**ked.

 

[Ron Earp]

457" is all you could manage from that chebby? Good riddance.
