Hey Guys,
It's been awhile since I have been on here. I now have a camaro and wanting to build a NA 6speed car. I am looking to get as close to 600hp as I can. What would be a better block to reach my goals? LS2 or LQ9? How many CI can I get out of them? Anyone have similar setups? Any help would be great.

you will need more cubes or be prepared to turn some rpm's. I would try to build a 427 at least and to do that you will need an ls7 block or lsx,rhs, or similar.

Thanks but want to stay with a ls2 or lq9

Ls2 sleeved to 440, all forged internals, good heads and intake will get you very close to 600rwhp

Gonna be hard to get 600rwhp out of a LS2 or LQ9. Crank horsepower is a different story however. 427 is the way to go if you want to make that power easily otherwise you will have to squeeze every single hp out that is possible.
