LS2 Swap Update
Put 6500 miles on the car after Dynotech Engineering swapped out my LS1 for a new LS2 w/a their "mild" (I ate to see a not-so "mild" cam)real cam) cam package this past spring. Other mods are a Dyntatech LT Header, X-pipe and H-Flow Cats w/custom tune. The car ran like a beast even with the PCV problem (oil sucking into manifold corrected by catch can 12/05). During the PCV problem the beast was still getting 418RWHP/411RWTQ to the pavement. After catch can, back to 440RWHP/442RWTQ. Here is the clincher, I got 28.3 mpg driving back from DTE in Fort Wayne to Ohio averaging 72 mph. I put DTE's handywork to the test and it has passed thus far. When I say I drove 6500 miles, I drove 6500 miles; taking every legal chance to wind it out. Best damn looking and performing sports car for the money in the world and America still has the best tuners!

running good (put away for winter now).
No other mods, since headers. They turned out to be wasted $ for sure...... I picked up less then 5 ft lbs of TQ.
I may get it stroked this late fall......
SC?..........awwwwwwwwww man don't do that. NA all the way. Hell Phil will set you up with a 427 that will rock and roll.
I may see what Phils thoughts are on the Dart heads. I would be curious what just doing those would produce? Could be a rather low cost upgrade?
