Default Need Help with my All Motor build!!

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.

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.
