The new LS2 402 Stroker engine was professionally designed and installed and has just over 2k miles on it including break-in mileage of 1k.

Hello to All,
Sorry but forgot to insert rear end gear & diff info, yes car has a 10-bolt but with upgraded 3.73 Motive gears and a Strange Eng diff cover.(Updated Car Info list)
Car has neck snapping pick-up but also great long highway legs since 6th is such a tall gear. Cruising 70-75 mph and keeping a light right foot car will pull down 20+ MPG on highway. Gets 14-16 mpg around local area.

i dont think so ls1s make 430 plus with decent head/cam packages. i feel ls2 with nice head/cam is very capable of 500 to the wheels. esspecially when everything works efficiantly togather.

Hello to All,
Yes have Dyno sheet and #'s are real and will probably get even better as engine loosens up. The key to car is that everything does work very good together.That's the way it was designed as I asked same question when building motor and was assured that if we stay in certain parameters car will put down over 500 RWHP / 500 RWTQ as those were the targets and happy to say we exceeded them.
Many guys go by just cam #'s and big TB's and many times don't give enough thought to how will all the components work together. My car even though doesn't have a monster cam or a 102 mm intake or TB has great port velocity and fills up the cylinders in short order. So when you put right foot down it goes right here and right now.
After having a car for 17 yrs you get to know her and what makes her go kind of like a woman. And I am happy to say my car seems to like what we have done to her and has rewarded me with I'd say pretty good dyno #'s and even better every day drive-ability. If anybody wants to see for themselves they are welcome to go on a test drive with me at local SWFL Camaro Club- Tri-County Camaro's get together in Ft.Myers Beach this weekend (Saturday July 25 @ 7:30PM @ Zoomers in Ft.Myers Bch) and they can judge for themselves the power this car puts down to ground.

Unfortunately video's of car 1st start up with new motor & dyno run I have exceeds the 4.77 MB limit set forth on site. And being an older guy (55) don't know how to link it to a web site for all to see.
But I have attached a few more pics of the engine parts used in build up and if someone e-mails me @ ssepx@comcast.net be happy to send video's via that way and then younger on line more tech savvy guys can figure it out.

Hello to All,
Added MNM Billet Catch Can & Red Top Optima Battery to list of Upgrades done.
In addition, I have other new and take-off parts I have accumulated over the years included with car. Example: Lou's short stick shifter (Didn't like the ultra low height) and round fact cue ball shifter. Will add items to list as I scan thru 17 yrs of receipts and upgrades done. Whomever buys car is getting a deal as have even more $ in car than I thought.
