That is correct. LS1 f-bodies were underrated from the factory. many M6's have dyno'd at 300-310 at the wheels making them more like 345-350 at the crank.

i say keep the LS2 out of the car as long as you can and build a stroker out of it nothing wrong with a little extra power. then when you finish building it, drop it in, and go nuts!

Hmmm! Sounds like a good idea. How much would it cost to build a stroker out of it??? And what do you think would be the power gain??
