And I think you'll need to buy a Corvette to fit it on first..

was hoping the KB would fit on a GTO. People are saying it doesnt, so i am disgruntled now.
For those who say its a no go, is it only hood clearance thats the issue?

Are there any other dub-screw kits for the LS2 gto?

If you swapped your accessory drive to that of a Vette, then it might fit...

But you do seem to be asking a lot of whacky questions, about all sorts of blowers, and related items.

Do you know what you want ?

I want it all.


99z28ls1.... I was unaware that i wanted power to fall into my lap. You see, i have already purchased quite a bit of mods for my GTO. I havent had them installed yet, and before i did, i wanted to make sure i was satisfied with what i had. Maybe i want more power, maybe what i have will take 5 seconds to make the tires explode and not 4. I dont want to spend a couple G's installing and tuning, and then learn that had i spent another 700 bucks i could have been up nearly another 100hp.

Perhaps these questions seem whacky to you, but to me they arent. I have always loved cars, but i have never built one or modded one. This is the first car that i have purchased for myself that is something i love (a muscle car). I am still in Grad school, so money doesnt exactly flow like diarhea from the buffalo. It also really burns my *** when peiople sugest i spend a couple hundred hours reading books on engine building, searching posts, yada yada. I dont want to ask something like "whats a supercharger?". If i had a question that gimped, i would search. However, i am in school from 7am till 7pm 5 days a week, and that is not counting doing whatever studying i have for exams, class in general, state liscensing, boards, etc. The only free time i have i spend playing with my car or chilling\banging my gf.

Since my choice is either "read some books on motors and search search search" or actually get 4-5 hours of sleep till i see my next patient, i will take the sleep. I dont mean to be snappy, but i am doing the best i can with the little time i have. Believe me, i am no fool, and will pick up plenty by reading posts. I usually read every post on the page that looks somewhat informative. But sometimes its hard to learn about things with a lack of time, people who tell me to go learn something, and half the **** i read being in tech talk about cam LSA and intake versus exhaust lift, etc.

Well as I said before, get reading. There are plenty of informative books out there too on tuning.

While this forum is generally very good, the internet is a dangerous place to learn about how to tune a car.

Books are generally written by educated people, who have enough knowledge to actually put a book together on the relevant subjects.

the internet also has a lot of very smart people, who know how to build a fast car.
But unfortunately, for every one smart person, there about 10,000 or more idiots, who will give bad advice. It can be very hard for a newbie, or someone without a lot of experience, to filter out the *****.

Sometimes when you ask lot of random, and in some cases, silly questions about tuning...well, you appear to be a total newbie.
It can be a case of, dont jump in at the deep end. Learn to walk, before you run etc etc.

And before asking, always search. In 90% of cases, these questions have been asked, and answered before. Although I know LS1Tech's search feature is kinda strange at times ( read crap )
I use it myself a lot.


And I know you are only throwing figures about, but a couple of G's doesnt go far !!! Always research before you buy....it seems you have bought some, and are now researching ?

There is every option out there for making enough power, to make you **** your pants. Making power is easy...building it so it hangs together is different. In some cases...that takes years of experience. You wont learn than in a few minutes or hours on the internet.

The most important thing tho...how far does your budget stretch ? That will dictate every single mod you intend to do.

I know you werent. Sorry if i came off like i was laying into you. You have been helpful numerous times for me. I just get pissed when people tel me to "do a search" or something like that. If someone asks "whats a supercharger" or "whats better, procharger or magna" thewn yeah, they should just reead. There are plenty of threads that clearly answer or adress this.
I post questions when i first look for my answer, and after a couple of pages worth of threads i dont find anything that answers my question, i post.
Or if i have some whacked idea like running the AC ducts into the air intake to lower IAT that i am pretty sure no one has asked before. lol.

i hear you. I am happy with what i have purchased. And unlike most, i spent alot of money on making sure that the car doesnt make 500hp and explode in 5 minutes. I bought a new drive shaft, half axles, rear end, axle stubs, bushings, parts to eliminate wheel hop, etc. I am happy with everything i bought. I was merely contemplating returning my maggie for a KB if they make it for the GTO. they dont, so forget that. I was also thinking about possibly getting some heads or pistons if they could accomplish 2 things... make significantly more power (at leat 50hp more) and keep the engine safe and reliable.

I want as much power as i can get without killing reliability. Thats why i was thinking of heads. I didnt understand the concept of lowering the compression and such, thats why i asked about that. I am learning though, so we will see.

As for the KB....they dont...

http://www.ls2gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149124

but that link someone sent earlier, looks like the Aussies are doing it instead !!!!

if you dont want to kill reliability, then at some point, you ill need to fit forged pistons at an absolute minimum. The stockers are just weak, and never had FI in mind.

I'm working VERY hard on it. Its completed, on the car and tuned. We just need to do some more road testing and we will be releasing them commercially. We are doing 2.2 and 2.8L versions (maggies are 1.7L for the 112's and 2L for 122's for comparison). We use air-air intercoolers so no issues with heatsoak from water-air intercoolers. 10c above ambient intake temps have been seen so far and 10psi on a 5.7L with the 2.2 with more room to wind em up.
