Stock LS2 Crate Engine Upgrade Ideas??
This engine is in my 1960 corvette restomod.
What can I get in simple bolt-on performance with this engine?
First thing, I thought I'd either port or swap out the intake. The one dyno test I saw of a ported intake appears to remove all low rpm torque. Once the engine got up around 5K it woke up.
What other simple bolt on performance ideas do you have?
Which vendors handle dress ups like a chrome plate mounted between firewall and intake to cover up wiring etc.?
Thanks

Good mods for the LS2 are a FAST 102 intake. FYI, a ported LS2 intake wil not take any low end torque from you. Headers are another great mod.
If the motor is out of the car, consider a cam. The work involved is minimal (45 min vs. 10 hrs in the car). You can get something mild to wake up the motor.
