Default Ls upgrade
Looking to upgrade a ls2 to ls3,6 or 7 for autocross. I'm thinking to go for 500 foot pounds and super response. Any suggestions on builders? Kaytech, Thompson any others. Thanks for your help, Mark

HP is not your main concern in autocross.

Kevin Miller's 69 camaro has a stock 80K LS1 for power. Texas GG autox.Brian Finch 33.755 Kevin 33.945.Nashville GG autox Brian Finch 33.142,Kevin 33.352.Brian Finch 550hp,Kevin 325hp.And Nashville was only Kevin's 3rd autox in his newly finshed camaro.Might be a little bigger gap on a long road course. Way to go Kevin.Mark I don't think you need a bunch more power unless you guy's are wanting to run some real fast long road course's.

Default Ls swap
Most will be SCCA or Goodguys auto with some Road Atlanta and Barbers. I think a little more will help, just looking for a second or two. I think the rear end repair wll help a bunch, We may wait and run it first. God Bless mark

I'd be looking at a Mast setup I think. However Katech would be the cat's meow but I can't afford to look .

Kevin is a hot foot or your chassis is that good. Maybe both... 200hp would put him ahead of Brian if he can control it.
