Ok..

I'm still learning...

I've been pondering this for awhile..doin all the homework i can.


If you had 2 engines..LS1 and LQ9.

The LS1 has a cam,ls6 intake,and bolt ons..

Just ballpark,how much more power would you net from a LQ9 w/ cam,ls2 intake,bolt ons?

Is the LQ9 just an iron version of the LS2?

I've seen the article were GMHTP took an LS2..added L92 heads L76 intake and a cam..made 530+ (i forget) hp....


Could you make those same gains w/ the LQ9,L92 heads,cam,etc?


Yes i know the LQ9 would be heavier,but like i said...homework...wanna learn as much as I can before i do anything

 

530 fwhp, yes. I run a H/C 370 iron (same as LQ9 but bored .030), I'm making 450rwhp which translates to about 520fwhp

 

anyone else?

 

I am building an Iron 6.0 with that Heads/Intake combo, we will see..

 

I would also like to know. I'm in same shoes as you are man. It's funny cause it started with just wanting a cam now I think I can pull it off with a Lq9 if the price is right. Please all the info would help.

 

My buddy... "2slot/a" is dropping in an LQ9 with absolute speed stage II heads, .612 custom grind cam, diamond pistons, new crank, underdrive kit.... and a bunch of other bolt-ons...it should be up and running within the week. I'll only have 9:1 compression, but that's to leave room for alot more air in the future...
I'll let you know what it puts down through the 9".

sorry to bring this up but did it ever put down 9's?
