Default Monster folks....

What would be recommended for a stock weight bolt on LS1 that will go road racing? Everything I've looked at or searched is for drag racing.

I'm leaning towards a stage 2...whats the difference between the 2 and 2.5?

Teh Level 2 and 2.5 are very similar, with the difference being in teh PP. The 2.5 has a "no chatter" guarantee, while the Level 2 does not, even though the chatter that you MIGHT get with teh Level 2 will be VERY MINIMAL, and will go away once break in is done.
Any other questions, fire away, or check out my sig/link below, and I can get you taken care of.
Thanks
