The LS9 does use forged pistons #19180414, But they run $129 each and require the unique LS7/LS9 rods(megga bucks). The next option is the forged LSX376 piston#19166957 that will probably be cheaper but I don't have a price yet. The only down side with those is that you will retain stock compression ratio.

true, but if you are changing the pistons to forged, might as well upgrade the connecting rods as well. maybe some H-beams anyone?

The bottom line is that you can go quite a ways with an intercooler and proper tuning on a blown car with stock internals. You can avoid KR with tuning and then you won't have problems.

because of greater expansion, forged also has higher emissions when cold.

and the government strikes again.

BowtieGuy · 03-16-2009, 11:48 AM

You would need forged rods before you went to pistons. So why not upgrade them both at the same time?

I don't know if it was just skepticism or what, but it just seemed to me to be a little too pessomistic; stock 4.6s live under 2.6L KBs or Whipples all the time, so I don't see why a stock LS' could do the same with conservative boost and good tuning. I see the LSA and LS9 running 9+ pounds of boost, and they all have mostly forged parts (in the LSA) but those are about as bullet-proof as they come form the factory. I think running 6 psi. would be plenty safe, considering Haddad Motorsports' G8 GT is running a little more (I believe) and putting down 460 RWHP with only a catback.

I don't see why this company is going to use old technology when they have these new rotors to work with... Oh well. To each his own

Camaro will be kicking tail though, regardless of blower - period.

I want an OEM SC!!!

Those Cobras are something to be messed with. It's a good thing Camaro was cancelled in '02 so they didn't have to deal with those cars, OMG. It weighed more but made a good amount more power. Shoot - you guys could swap a pulley, add CAI, exhaust, and tune and get crazy power!!! I'm so jealous.

Or all the time for those with piston slap...

I agree, but LOVE it!!! I'm a little disappointed the ZR1 and CTS-V don't make a little more noise, but I imagine much more could get irritating after a while of driving - especially in a DD. It's funny some Cobras I've heard with KBs or Whipples whined so much that it overpowered the exhaust!!! That was with full exhaust including LTs. Those cars were stupid fast!!!

the tvs is alot quiter then the original maggies, also u dont hear whine until u start achieving boost. and it really screams at higher rpm. so for daily driving u shouldnt be getting in to high boost so the whine should be minimal or non resistant. but then it all depends on ones setup, i'm sure with a nice intake setup and a smaller pulley it might whine at idle, or the s/c ported. so who knows. as far as the ctsv and zr1 gm specifically picked the tvs units cuz its quiet, plus they added tons of sound deadening stuff in the engine bay to keep it quiet. i wish u could hear the s/c whine, i'm sure w/ some mods it can be heard

thats something u dont see every day. read about it on ls1tech. I'm a big fan of Positive displacement blowers. twin screws, and really liking the results of eatons new TVS units. their putting some stout numbers. i hope whipple makes something for the new camaro. theyve been lacking in the gm performance car market.

Magnuson already has s/c for LS series motors. the one pictured above is not mine, mine is a little more "custom" than that. lol

i know that magnuson has s/c for ls series engines. i'm hoping whipple comes out with some that are 50 state legal. and not just hot rod kits that require massive amounts of custom work.

I have heard the L76 working with TT and AFM, how does is perform in the same situation with a supercharger?

the same. only real difference is the wastegate and BOV locations.
