Whats that badge on the side of the red car? Looks like a Z06 badge, but you said yours is a 97. Just wondering if they pulled the motor our of the wrong car

No its a Z06 badge, it was on it when I bought it back in August. I know the kid I bought it from said his grandpa put it on in 02, Once I get it back I think I am either going to put an LS1 or supercharged emblem in its place if the paint is off when I remove it. Although technically it will be part Z06 since that is the rear end I am putting in from an 03 Z06

Yes the engine builder from Horsepower sales didn't want to use the press fit LS1 rods, so we went with floating LS2 rods and ARP rod bolts.

I got them from a member on here for 70 bucks, he has used them with up to some of his 800hp builds and they held up fine as long as you use the ARP rods bolts head studs, so I did save about 600 going this route. I was going to get a set of Callies because he couldn't find a complete set of LS2 rods, then I found them on here

Yes they are better than the ls1 rods you should be fine with less than 800hp. Like you said

The ls2 rod weighs more so are they going to balance the crank?
