I hate to sound like a comercial, but Katech has a great reputation for building quality engines and when they did the 20% discount untill Feb
28, I could not resist.!!!!

Thats as good as it gets. The LS2 re-sleeve is stronger than an LS7 block.

.....Top shelf Katech work too.

I'm envious.

I'm going for 525rwhp with 600rwtq

I really have not given it a lot of thought, my A6 has no converter,
so I'm using a small cam.
