ls2 supercharged reliability?
Hey guys,
There's a local car near me with an LS2 and Vortec V-2. It's also an automatic. Has full exhaust as well.
It's a 2006 with 30k miles
Is the Automatic okay holding the 570whp? How does the motor hold up? Anything I should consider?
I'm looking for something less "track" than my z06 and more of a cruiser. I want to stick with corvettes though.

While you're waiting here, you will probably get more responses in the Forced Induction Forum:

The A6 is usually fine up to 550, some say 600 on a street car. If you intend to drag race it a lot with slicks or drag radials then a stock A6 probably won't last too long at those levels.

I've been running an A&A V2 with an LS2/auto on my 06 for over four years. I'm putting down 541rwhp@494ftlbs torque. The car could be used as a DD with no effort. Also running LG Pro long tube headers with X-pipe and Borla Stingers. Couldn't be happier.

I've had a supercharged ls2 for over 5 years. The last 2 it was at 735rwhp and held up great. Its the manual trans though. Just make sure it is tuned properly.

Mine is almost like what you r looking at. Ls2 07 c6 with lg headers x pipe bullet exhaust. Si v3 aa sc with 570 rwhp. Its my dd and tune is really good. Its been two yys since sc and ls2 handles it with no problem. I occasionally step on it and it runs like a champ. It will last a until the wheels fall off im sure. Make sure u replace sc oil once a year or 7500 mi which ever is first. Dont stay in boost too long. Im about 3 - 5 sec in boost on avg. it will give you many miles of pleasure. I ve heard 200 k miles and beyond.
