The LS2 is a very strong block, Im proof of that, and its still going strong, Im now starting a new build with the new LS3 aluminum block with it bored to.030" (4.095) = 431cid.

It took you a 350 shot to run 6.50's in the 1/8th... LOLs What are you running it in... a ****** tank?

^^^^^
Now That's Funny LoL!
No, the track time that i show, is with a 175 single shot on a 1/8 mile track. I run at a little track here that is 330 ft track that i was talking about with the 350 shot. I should have worded it differently. My car have full interior and AC. Ive had a lot of traction problem at the short track. Ill be going to the track in a few weeks and ill see what the time will be in a 1/8th on the 350 shot.

I would hope to think most of the people that are building an LQ4 dont give a damn about the stock internals, especially the pistons. I know I went with JE pistons with a -29cc valve relief.
