Default What's A Better Engine?
What's a better engine to have the LS6 in the 2004 Z06 or the LS2 in the 2006 Corvette(not Z06). So what would be better to have?

I believe the ls2, since it is a 4 inch bore it is easier to mod down the road.

stock vs stock the Ls6 is better. For a modified engine i'd take a 402 which is stroked Ls2.

LS2 - easily go to 412ci with a 4.100 stroker crank and stock bore. See sig.
