Need a new motor for my turbo '05 GOAT.
Hi all -
Just looking to get ya'lls opinion on a new motor for my goat. Car currently has a 67MM rear mount turbo (492rwtq/472rwhp). Something is knocking in the motor and figure it's time to do it. I have a few options - keep the STS kit, or "upgrade" to a new twin front mount kit hitting the market.
Next is the motor - stroke it or not? General wisdom has been to turn the LS2 into a 402 or 408. This is my DD however and would like it to remain nice and drivable. The idea of a fast-revving de-stroked block is appealing to me. Downside is I'd have to sleeve the block and that is $$.
Planning on sticking a TCI 6X tranny in there. A "GT-R" fighter, if you will.
Goals are 10sec pass and daily driveability. 7-800hp. Needs to hang with any of the big boys on the street. Lots of Z06s, ZR1s, etc etc.
Thanks,
Max
