I've read that switching to the 2300 isn't worth the hassle. I haven't learned why, exactly, but I think it would definitely be interesting to see this swap. I like it for the stealth factor. It seems the blower snout is among the biggest obsticle. I honestly think LSA would be making pretty close to the GT500 with less boost, but not much. It'd be interesting to see someone do this. It seems like a pretty expensive project, compared to a Maggy or Whipple though...

You are right, when it comes to blown Lsomethingsomething motors I know less than nothing. I'm an NA fan who has avoided forced induction since expensive experience in the late 80's/early nineties. Carry on, and ignore my biased and undoubtedly outdated comments.

Considering LS9 is pushing 10.5-psi and making near 640-HP, I think a couple more psi using the LSA cam is going to get pretty close to the 662 that the GT500 is making. You push LSA to 15-psi, though, you're going to have other considerations like CAI and IATs, in my mind.

Back in the day my Buick Grand national couldnt take any more then about 21 pounds with the stock turbo and it would show knock on the scanmaster but with nothing more then a turbo swap it would make pass after pass on 22 to 23 pounds with zero knock. Problem was the same as the zl1 in that the stock turbo had to be spun so fast to make that power that it was creating to much heat. I do agree 100% in that detonation is the killer. I have seen stock Buicks live at 30 pounds and then I have seen some come apart at 17 pounds on pump gas and people getting greedy with the timing. |

I agree on the cost and target market issue as everyone else has said, but also wish to remind all of us wearing bowties that we do have a Corvette ceiling above our heads... The GT500 is the Ford flagship and theyre gunning to compete with the Vette. As seen before in 89 with th TTA, guys paying top dollar for a Corvette get mad when they are outperformed by a mere f-body. Ive heard spec that this is the reason we werent offered true polished wheels... so that way the Vette guys would still have something over us.

No worries, I didn't take your comment as being harsh. You were, as I admitted, correct. I don't have the depth of knowledge on GM motors that I do with Ford and Mopar. Three 70's Boss #02s?!?!?! Bloody sweet, any pics? Which colours? Sooo jealous.

Only seen 3 motors blow in my life, 2 in Vettes and 1 Mopar. Spectacular!!! Taints one viewpoint as I'm sure there are Ford Motors that have blown apart, and I do see a lot of talk of Cylinder 8 issues.
