hey guys how much hp/tq can the stock LS2 bottom end take before it gives out? possibility i will be spraying. just trying to find a combo of parts right now and looking for some info on the bottom end and how much it can SAFELY handle with a good tune

 

250 shot,.......600rwhp ,auto. Sean Freese Tune,back in 2005. never hurt the motor.didnt wanna pay to find the limit.

 

haha alright man thanks.

 

I would say between 600-700rwhp. The pistons and rod bolts are the weak links. Alot would depend how good of shape the motor is in to start with. You can do any thing once or twice. 500 rwhp you can do repeatably.

 

how many times did you spray the 250 shot........ I thought 150 shot was the "safe" high point for spray in stock bottom end ls2's?

 

is this true? is a 150 shot the safe limit for the LS2 bottom ends?

 

Slowgoat was spraying 200 on his LS2 running 10.3x's. I think that car had more "Gas" run through it then gasoline. Motor was still running fine when pulled for a stroker at 65K. I hear the crank is good for 1000, but the rod bolts are the weak link.

 

wow, these bottom ends are stronger than i thought, thanks for the info!

 

Put in some good rods and pistons...take it up to 900-1,000 hp with the stock crank. Don't think one has ever been broken, but they flex which causes problems.

Thanks for posting this question man, I was wondering the same thing. I will be running a turbo and looking to get into the 700whp range so this has been on my mind.

over 50 times

 

haha damn thats good to know. and it had no problems?

 

550 safe. a lot of guys are around 600. over 600 is a crap shoot

 

No problems,.... Sean Freese tune, 600rwhp w/ an auto, bone stock Ls2. Sold that block, looked nice inside, I use nitrous as my piston cleaner,...ha,ha..

 

I'm at or just above 600, rods and pistons are gonna be your only problem. best bet is just to throw a set of rods and pistons in er' and call it a day.

alright appreciate the advice.

 

Is this the ls2 shortblock you sold me? I know you said it was from a "bone stock c6"

 

NastyC6 no response?

An engine that has been shot with a 250 shot 50+ times is not bone stock. I'd take non response to this as a "yes I fucked him"

 

haha damn

 

Seems as though NastyC6 is a total lying assbag!
