How much more can the stock bottom end and drive train of a ls2 handle? Want to go 3.4 pulley, Double auxiliary fuel pump, and e85 or methanol injection

go e85. you could get another 100 or so ponies and live a long life

traction will be your problem more than the ls2 blowing. e85 is the boost juice

My tuner said that too and only got 64 more ponies. Mine is a 2008 base model.

I already have the 3.4" pulley also. Had it on and got 670 but it was way lean. Tuner said i needed to go e85, go from single to double auxiliary pump, and biger injectors to run that pulley. Probably tune close to 750 bhp

Yes I had to put another pump in also. But you can smell and feel the difference. On 93 octane or 92 then put in the e85 you will see what I mean. Love reading your build.

So again, will the stock bottom end and drive train handle 800 bhp? So that would be approximately 960 at the crank, right?

People have been making 800+whp on Ls2’s over a decade ago. Now obviously if you abuse it or not run have enough octane, it won’t last.

I have 796 at the crank. On a cold day its pushing over 800. But I did not want every horse the tuner could have got for that every reason. Don't want to rebuild. Mine fits my needs. And he does a lot of builds at 1200 hp. I have a stock bottom and stock drivetrain except for the clutch and short throw shifter. On a manual clutch its about 98 horsepower less when it get to the rear end. There is a chart for that. I will look it up. I have it bookmarked somewhere.

I put in your 960 at the crank and with a manual it comes out at 835 at the wheels. With a 5 speed auto its 816 rwh. website is mk5cortinaestate.co.uk

Thanks. I have a 6 speed automatic. Factory converter. So it's where i thought about 20% power loss. This thing is a rocket but im sure ill get used to it and want a little more. Just want to keep it safe. My tuner does the same thing, his tunes are conservative unless you insist on going all out.
