LS2 is a 6.0 aluminum block with 243 heads which are about 64cc. This would have been found in a Vette or second year GTO. A Silverado HD should of had a cast iron 6.0 with 317 72cc heads and dished (low compression) pistons. If it was an LQ9, which is the high output version, then it would have flat top pistons and have higher compression but still should have the 317 heads. Both of the truck engines are cast iron.

Uh...something's wrong here. Stock LS1's probably put down that kind of power. You sure the motor isn't an LS1? I hope you verified that the motor was an LS2 before you bought the car...

My long elaborate post above was basically stating that odds are he was lied to and its not an LS2. I just didn't want to point it out directly.

well for starters it was dyno'ed on a mustang dyno. want to take back for second opinion with someone else. the 6.0 is the lq9 motor

Something is wrong, those are stock LS1 numbers on the dyno.

Why do you want an LS2? Just bc your car was supposed to come with one? The LQ9 has plenty of power potential, don't give up on it yet.

i haven't given up yet zracer323, i just thought i probably had an ls2 to play with. aside from that there are not alot of people that are willingly to help a fellow f-body member out. any suggestions.....

Is your car an auto? Did you say it was hitting the limiter? I would say something is wrong. You do know its not supposed to hit the limiter right?

Yeah my car is auto. Yes i do know it's not suppose to hit the limiter, i can't seem to find out what the problem is any ideas.
