I wonder if it would be better if we called them "Gen IV, Floating Wrist Pin" style rods instead of "LS2" style rods. It's just easier for people to say "LS2" Style rods.
My understanding is that all LQ9s ('02+) came with "Gen IV, Floating Wrist Pin Style Rods" and LQ4s came with "Gen IV, Floating Wrist Pin Style Rods" after '04 or '05.

I'm not positive in the year of the motor I was told it was a 02. The engine was a warranty engine from dealership and I got it from a buddy. I had the pan off the car but didn't pay attention to the rods or wrist pins. I wish someone that actually knows if my engine has ls2 style rods would speak up so this discussion about the rods will stop.

Need to find you a 1.00 housing for that thing...
Our luck thatd bring enough torque in earlier that itd cause reliability problems
Car had a nice sound at idle given the downpipe setup.
You did a great job on it man.

I found a 1.23 housing.
Chris from Midwest turbo said it will lower my power band by 1000 rpms.
I have trouble building boost on the trans brake with the 1.39 housing
going to see how it acts at the track before I change anything

Never did a build Thread I should have
The 8.8 is a bolt in granny's speedshop well u have to drill some holes for mounting but pretty much bolt in
It should hook at the track since the power comes in so late
