Default Pics of my LS2 Project.

I've got some pics of my progress so far. Just to let everyone know, GM still has some 24x LS2's laying around. Marty from SDPC told me they have about 178 or so left over engines from the assembly line. Mine was from a GTO, not sure if all of them are. I forgot the where I put the pt# in case anyones interested. I will post it when I find it or you can talk to Marty at SDPC and he'll hook you up. Here's the link for the pics http://community.webshots.com/user/lt1jmz

What is the big deal about the LS2's with the different teeth count? Does it have to do with pogramming or something? Why is one more coveted than the other?

I bought min from Scoggin Dickey. Payed $5450 plus shipping. With the 24x, you can run the LS1 computer and just change the knock sensors, and O2 sensors. With the 58x, you will spend $700 more because the computer is more expensive. Other than that their pretty much the same as far as I know. I'm not sure the difference from a tuning standpoint.

So the LS1 computer can't be told to expect a 58x count rather than a 24x?
I'm just asking, I am not that familiar with how that particular part of the programming works.

That's correct. The computer is not compatable at all. 24x computers, 2005 and under, will not work on the 2006 and up 58x motors and vice versa.
