What exactly is a Dynomite anyway? No proven dynos (dynojet, mustang) around you?
Another good things about the LS2...you can not only do quite a bit as a stroker, you can also punch it out .030" over without issue.

Still not seeing how that is anything worth bragging about, but hey, as long as you're happy. Not all LS2's stay stock. BTW, 12.1 on a 150 shot and your 3 mods? You really should stall that thing. I ran that with stock internals in my old Z all motor. Then again I was stalled.

I dont see how those dyno's are "proven", my numbers were on par for my mods and the other cars there were right too.
With all of this stoker talk why dont you just do it. More cubes just means more down low tq and I really dont want that. The car makes more than enough as is.

Ya I know not many LSx stay stock. Yup 12.1 on a street tire, with no stall, and a leak in the nitrous. I plan on being a couple seconds quicker once the stall goes in and some more mph.

Yes your exhaust is 1/4" bigger than stock 04 exhaust. I dont see how the intake can be better, and I hope you aren't talking about the intake manifold. I have the 05 brakes and they are nothing to brag about. They still warp just as easy, and they are more expensive to get. Well, and 04 was the only year they made my color too

I'm talking about everything theoretically. I wouldn't go the stroker route, if anything bore it out to a 370. I'm a huge top end fanatic, and that's not the LS2's strongest point stock. I obviously show my preference in GTO's, but I do think that people don't give LS1 goats nearly enough credit. Sure as hell helps the sleeper effect though.

I always stayed out of the LS1 vs. LS2 debates, just figured Id get into one for once.
Its just those guys that think the LS2 is soooooooooo much better than the LS1 when its not much of a different car.

The ls2 and all the other goodies were already planned for the GTO before the 04's came out. They just didnt have the time to get it all put in. If your looking at an auto the 05 and 05 came with the 4l65e which is a lil beefier also. Some of the 04 have been known for electrical gremlins also. An advantage of the 06 over the 05 is faster seats (may as well jump out a window if the car is on fire) and the 06 has a door unlock button.

True. I just took off my engine covers and I'm thinking I can convince people it's not so slow since I swapped in a WS6 T/A motor, given that now it looks just like an f-body LS1.
Ah, the trials and tribulations of slow rides.
