Installing a 402 stroker kit in an LS2 CTS-V, any suggestions? I'm installing a forged 402 stroker kit into my '07 CTS-V. What else would you guys recommend replacing/modifying/upgrading while I'm into the bottom end? The kit comes with pistons, rings, rods, rod bearings and crank. I'll be replacing the main bearings and studding the caps also. My car already has a cam, P&P stock casting heads, ported oil pump, double roller timing chain. Thanks.

What rotating kit are you going to be installing? I'd recommend paying a reputable machine shop to do the machine work and having them help setup the clearances (assuming you don't have the dial bore indicator and other tools to do so accurately) so your new engine is trouble free.
Also, be sure to break it in with quality oil high in zinc and phosphates such as the Joe Gibbs Break-In Oil. Quality oil, with those anti-wear agents, make all the difference in the world!
