LS2 402 or LQ9 408?
ls1 crank fits fine, and I know of one guy that took an ls2 block to a 4.020, but he's running a strong n/a setup, with possible a SMALL shot of gas, for an n/a setup the 4.020 is probably fine, but any power adder use, I'd be a little hesitant with even that.

BIG QUESTION FOR YOU WILL ALL DUE RESPECT.....
How are you going to get that much power to the ground. Dyno numbers are fun but after 500rwhp or so you are just going to spinnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The new EVO X's engine, MB11, has an aluminum block vs the older models iron block. Those cars have a ton of boost thrown at them. Mitsu has been in the turbo game for a long time. If aluminum wasn't as good as iron in boosted motors I'd doubt they would do this just to save 60lbs.
I am by far no expert but I think what most sponsors would tell you is that it comes down to how much you want to spend. The Ls2 can be made plenty strong and reliable for anything but the most extreme setups. It just costs a little more. It really just depends where your priorities lay but you could safely and reliably use either block.

lol you got it...traction issues. hopefully mickeys will help somewhat
A GOOD Suspension Setup And Even A Set Of M/T Street Radials Will Get You Plenty Of Traction. Tires Do Twist and The Fronts Of Cars Do Go Up. Thats Traction
