SLP's LS2 402, good idea or not?
I'm thinking of going w/ SLPs 402 short block but i'v enever heard anything bad or good about it . any info or comments would really help. what would be a decent head and cam setup for this motor nitrous may be an issue later down the road so i need a decent sounding /running cam for normal driving but also able to handle a 150 wet shot as well. any help would be great.

i have that same set up. cam is speed inc. ss3 heads are stage 2. car is very tame wife takes it garage saleing. i don't see any problems with slp. raced the car with 43 miles, now have over 600 and a few n20 passes. everythings fine. except the clutch.need to install my twin, centerforce won't hold it. last time out clutch slipped pretty bad. went 12.11@116.5 n/a, 11.90@124.62w/175 shot. bests are 12.05@117.81 n/a 11.51@126.43 w/100 shot.with clutch and tires probably see 10's. also it's a full weight convertable w/cast iron block, 6 point bar, subs, and amps.

We currently have LS2 402 strokers on special. Give one of us a call or shoot me an IM, & we can discuss some of the different important aspects to deciding what stroker to purchase. Purchase a stroker from a shop that has installed them, tuned them, built several of them, and is comfortable working on LS1's & LS2's! You'd be surprised how many sponsors on ls1tech don't have a lot of experience actually building or installing built motors. Just because someone outsources a short-block or drop-ships a short-block doesn't make them knowledgeable
What's your goals for the stroker, & what do you plan on doing with it? A4 or m6? Heads?? Cam ideas??
