I have only ever seen 1 blown LS2 at the track, it was forged.
My guess is that the above cars do not actively race in competative events. But that's just a guess.

Post up your mod list, both current and future, dyno/track results, drivability observations, what you like/dislike, and what you would/wouldn't do again.

2005 Z51 coupe M6

LGM Longtubes
Custom AZPS exhaust
Custom AZPS cam grind
Halltech intake
FAST 90

455 rwhp/406 rwtq on 91 octane

I went to the track on stock tires and got a 12.3@116 wiht a 1.89 60 foot but the clutch wouldnt come off the floor after 2nd so I ended up coasting after 3rd gear... I dont plan on going back until I put a new clutch in

Cam isnt bad, we put it in as a prototype to see if we could do better then our AZPS03... It has some cam surge under 1500 rpm but idle is perfect and fuel mileage wasnt hurt too bad... the LS2 cars really take to large cams well! Procharger is going on with one of our blower cams shortly with goals of 700 rwhp without touching heads or bottom end

C6dude nice setup, but I don't think you will see 18lbs on a D1SC with that motor. For that type of boost you need a F1 Procharger. Boost is measured in restriction of the motor. Basically the more effecient the motor is, the More Blower you need. My brother spins his D1SC on his 383 with AFR heads to 59000 Blower RPMs with his pulley combination. What pulley combinaton are you going to be using????

I have a 7.5" 8 rib ATI balancer on the crank and a 4" 8 rib pulley on the blower.It should get me close to 14-18 psi,if not I can always go with a little smaller pulley.I don't think I need an F1 just yet, maybe next year if I get bored with this one.This should keep the grin on my face for a while and take care of those pesky Exotics with an attitude that always seem to track me down on the highway,.I'm still waiting for my 345/30/19 Hoosiers from Tirerack ,I hope they are sticky enough to give me the edge I need to keep this power down. I don't want to be smoking the tires at 95 mph while I'm passing them.
