Default Any guesses on the numbers ??

All installation and tuning will be done by LG Motorsports 1-972-429-1963

SLP 402 hi comp
g5x3 vII cam .6xx/.6xx 24x/24x
afr 205 heads 59cc
meziere ewp
asp ud pully
lg pro longtube headers
Ported FAST 92 w/95mm TB courtesy of Ron@Vengeance
VaraRam CAI
Big3 rear exhaust

How much power do you guess this combo could make??
What compression will she be at using a .040 cometic ??

I am hoping for 520 rwhp and close to 500 rwtq. What do you think.

Think your rwhp goal is well within reach, but you might fall a few ft lbs short on the torque number. Sounds like a killer setup though!

I called and the wait on hold was rediculous. I heard the same thing too, thats why I was calling for a quote on one of their 403's.

Your goal sounds just about right for an M6. Auto would be less.

Thanks again to all the people who shared both positive and negative experiences. Everyone helped me tremendously to feel more confident with my upcoming choice to either go or not go with the SLP 402. I will be going with the SLP shorty. I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Results should be available in may 2008

any engine can have an issue, its either go with a engine builder you know or is local or trust the aftermarket.

Default My setup

[quote=allngn_c5;9119797]How many miles you got on the short block?? How hard do you drive it ?? Can you give me some details about your setup ??

Don,

I've got about 3k on the shortblock. My setup was the SLP High Compression shortblock. I have L92 heads milled .020 and lightly cleaned up be a local guy, L76 intake, AR 1 7/8 headers, Vararam, UD Pulley, Cartek cam (232/236 .590 116) and Cartek Level 8 clutch.

It's a 6spd with 4:10's.

I'm making 485/445, but the curve is kinda flat, making it very nice to drive.

Before you buy a shortblock I would call Bryan @ LME. All they do is build motors and they have an excellent reputation. He can answer any and all questions as well as recommend the best setup to meet your goals. It's JMO but I feel shortblocks and cams are things that are best when custom built for a specific person and specific goal.
