Default My 402 build...

I have this going on another site but figured I'd post it on here too. My 2006 GTO has about 80K miles on it and I've been wanting to rebuild it. Car is going to the shop in about 2 weeks. Waiting on a few minor parts to arrive. I'm going to let the shop spec out a rotating assembly.

Heads are....
LXR CNC Ported LS3 Heads:
New Design Castings with 11* Valve Angle
Fully CNC Ports and Combustion Chambers
4.080 Bore has 69cc Chambers
255cc Intake Port Volume
Relocated Valve Stem Centerlines
2.165” x 5/16" Stainless Intake Valves
1.600” x 5/16" Stainless Exhaust Valves
Lunati 73925 Dual Valve Spring Package
Flow 372-260 cfm at .700” Lift


Intake is a ported L76 from Peak Speed Shop





-Cam is a 247/254 .635 .621 on a 114LSA
-OEM rockers( offset LS3 intake rockers)
-Trunnion upgrade
-C5R timing chain
-Hinson motor mounts

Other parts I will be reusing are
-Ported LS6 oil pump
-Morel lifters
-Fast 57# injectors
-ARP head bolts

i've heard a lot of good things about RPM, so i'm sure they will put together a stout combo. I'm definitely interested to see how these heads perform.

Same here. They have done work to my car before. The heads were a pretty penny so I hope some nice numbers come out of this build.

I'm assuming you have an L92/LS3 block since you say you are going 4.080 because the LS2 can't go out to 4.080, plus that wouldn't make it a 402 anyway.

Very nice choice in parts. I couldn't afford those Mast heads for my setup

Im reusing my stock LS2 block. Im not boring it out to 4.080 either. For the info on the heads it was saying that a 4.080 bore has 69cc chambers.

This is going to be an awesome setup. Cam selection will be crucial.

Did you see the cam I got in my first post? If so, what do you think?

Om also debating having them do an SD tune. I was originally going to buy a Fast 102 but read and seen that the LS3 Fast really didnt outflow a ported L76 that much. I can't wait for the build to be done.

Can't really say on the cam selection. It's a medium sized cam for a 402 so it will drive great without sacrificing top end too much. Your setup is different from everything that's out there so it may take more than one cam to get it dialed in right.

From what I saw on some other build, apparently VA Speed has a porting process for the FAST 102s that picks up good power. It's a matter of whether or not it's worth the $$$ for you.

Doesn't take much cam to make power with the heads he has. His cam is right on par to make well over 500 to the wheels.

Rockers and some other parts came in! My good friend Shane back home was kind enough to install the trunnion upgrade on my new rockers.

4.080 Bore
Thought you were making a 402 and sticking with a 4.000 bore?

Should make some good power. The 76 intake will cost you some power.
