Anyone have any ides as to the possibility of supercharging the GTO LS2? The reason I'm asking is because the comp. ratio is so high. So I guess run a timing retard, lower deg. thermostat, high octane gas...? Would it run on pump premium? If my car was automatic I'd be interested in a turbo. But with th manual I figure I can pick my boost level with the gear shifter.

I am pretty sure that you can get a bigger chambered truck head I will look and see if my mag lists the CC size for the LS2. The LS7 has a 70cc CC but it is stroked and bored which would make SCR higher than a 6.0 engine would be.
