I'm using the DSE control arms and QA1 up front with the G-bar in the rear.
Rodger modified the G-bar to aquire this stance.

Rich, what exactly had to be modified on the G-bar?

They moved the connection point of the upper shock mount to allow the car to sit lower and allow for a wide tire.

Hey Rich, nice project. Great shop you have taken it to.

LS2 Crate (stock displacement)
Stock crank (reworked)
Jesel rockers, push rods and lifters
Comp cams custom grind
AFR mongoose heads (worked)

As it sits, this motor will be +-600 HP (flywheel)
I figure the procharger will add another 150 - 200 HP.

I'm using the stock rods and pistons..... I hate to send it out to have new pistons installed. What do you think?

Rich

Rich,
Keep the boost set around 5-7 psi...you should be just fine. Do you plan on taking the car to a track day? I will be watching this build.

I posted a bunch more pics on my shop website today. I will continue doing so for the next few weeks as the build goes on. Hopefully

If you are gonna run a Procharger, don't you want to be able to put out more than 5-7 lbs of boost? I assume the is custom ground for the supercharger?

What are those stock rods and pistons good for as far as hp? I would figure 750-800 hp would be very dangerous.

Sounds like an awesome motor build that's for sure!

I need to make a decision right now, if I upgrade the pistons and rods then I will upgrade tyhe supercharger to the D1SC.

I think 600+ is optimistic.

I had a stock LS2, fast 90 intake, AFR 205 heads and a 230/232 (112LSA) 0 -- this combo made 572hp.

Your stock bottom end should be fine at that level, I beat the crap out of mine. Now with the boost I'm not as sure. Your LS2 is already at 10.8ish to 1 so you can't go much with boost on the stock hyper pistons.

I know a procharger is sexy for for less $$ you could just stroke the LS2 with a nice forged assembly. Would make almost as much power and entail less install drama.

By the way... nice ride!
