Default 500hp LS2?? hows it done?

How can I take a stock Ls2 and get it to toss 500 hp at the wheels. It will be pushing through an A4.

do you even read the info that is posted, seems your always asking the same stuff...

and there havent been any 450rwhp+ ls2's (364's). if you are talking strokers based upon the ls2 block then there have been several. Mike from rapid motors has done it more then once, and any setup done on the plethora of 408's out there should get you close as well.

however good luck going through an a4...

This can be accomplished by changing heads,cam,springs,rockers,and pushrods,e-mail me and i can send you a dyno sheet of an LS2 that put over 550HP to the flywheel.

The LG Motorsports C6 Corvette made 460rwhp (~ 540hp engine) with ONLY the following mods: LG Motorsports long tube headers, borla stinger, LG Motorsports G5x-4 cam with upgraded valve springs, and the LS2 edit.

You forgot to mention that your bottom end blew up because of a bad tune. Not because of the turbos. My stock bottom end made more real power and lasted 65000 km.
