Default 6.2l

how come not very many people use the 6.2 engine in boosted application, is it bcuz the others are more available and cheaper, are the 6.2 weak under boost i know this is a dumb question but humor me! i was just wondering this bcuz one of the local blow up doctors [not a very good engine builder] told a friend he had to start with a 6.2 nothing else lol, said friend has more money than god [he thinks] and bought a 6.2

I would say it's just a money thing. I have less money in my forged 370 than it would cost to buy a 6.2 from the junkyard. As far as power goes there's alot of guys making good numbers with s/c and tt ls3 camaros so I would say they can handle power just like any other Ls platform.

They can all handle the same power.

But a ls3 is worth a fortune

Your friend might have been better off in buying a junk L92 and just change out the intake. Probably would be way cheaper. B/c there more vehicles w/L92's than the two models that came with the LS3. (Corvette and Camaro).

^^L92 is the 6.2 that's being discussed, they are available in some of the newer higher end GM trucks, like the 07+ Escalades, Denali's, 09+ Vortec Max Silverado's/Sierra's
