HOW CAN I MAKE MORE POWER WITH MY 6.0L ALUMINUM LS2? CAN I RUN BOOST ON MY LS2? CAN I RUN NITROUS ON MY LS2? HOW MUCH IS A CAM SWAP WORTH ON MY LS2? WHAT ARE THE BEST POWER MODS FOR MY LS2? HOW MUCH POWER CAN I MAKE WITH AN LS2? HOW DOES THE LS2 COMPARE TO THE LS1 AND LS3? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I RAN A GMPP CRATE LS2 WITH A MILD COMP CAM, WITH TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF NITROUS AND WITH A VORTECH SUPERCHARGER. HOW WELL DID THE ALUMINUM 6.0L LS2 RESPOND TO THE TYPICAL PERFORMANCE MODIFICATIONS?

These videos keep me up all night. With the constant back and forth of whether to build a motor or just mod the one I already have, these awesome videos don't make it easy for me. They all sound awesome.

Thank you Mr. Holdener, no one really goes into the LS2. Very much appreciate your time on this for us niche motor guys who don"t plan to go LSA or otherwise. Gonna use this as a reference for the upcoming mods l have planned for mine. 🙏🏾 Thank you again you legend!!!!

Love these last two episodes more than most of these videos as I have a heads,cam 06 GTO that I'm going to install a VS 7875 on.I've been contemplating a head swap to broaden the tuning window. It's a huge incentive to get this project underway. I appreciate all the videos that you put out every week.

Good timing. I have a 2006 Corvette with the LS2. I did a FAST 102, TSP long tubes, 3000 stall and I'm currently doing a small cam. Cam Motion Titan 3 .600" lift 224/228 duration and 113+4. I'm hoping it will give a little chop and 40-50 extra hp while still being a mild cam that doesn't beat up the drivetrain too bad or kill my fuel economy. It made 385 wheel thru the auto before the cam.

Richard, If you had a choice between a BTR stage 2 truck cam or a Sloppy Best Cam on a 6.0 with 243 heads & 1 3/4 long tube headers. Which cam would you pick in your opinion?… I’m not really looking for top end power or racing. Probably more low to med range power. Just an all around good cam that will be reliable to drive anywhere with a good idle

How does the LS2 compare to the L77 from the Caprice PPV? From what I understand the L77 is an aluminum 6.0 but it’s only rated at 355 hp and comes equipped with DOD. Since everybody recommends doing DOD delete anyway would the cams you used on the LS2 perform similarly?

Richard, what are your thoughts on why the ls2 made so much larger gains down low with the Comp cam as compared to the tests with the BTR cams in the ly6 6.0?

@ZONES89RS Жыл бұрын

The profile of the cam let the engine breathe and do it’s job. Stock cams are for emissions and mileage

@jefflee8924 Жыл бұрын

@@ZONES89RS I understand that over the stock cam. What I'm asking is why did this cam make a nearly 25lb.-ft of torque & 15hp gain throughout the curve and all the way down to 3000rpm in the LS2 6.0 when in another of Richard's videos a Brian Tooley stage 2 truck cam has very similar specs but only makes maybe 10lb.-ft & 5hp more than the much smaller stock LQ9 cam from 3000rpm to nearly 4500rpm in the LY6 6.0? Is it a product of the almost 11:1 compression in the LS2 vs 9.6:1 in the LY6? Is it the cathedral ports vs. rec port heads? Or does the Comp 265 cam have much more aggressive lobe ramps than the BTR cams?

@@jefflee8924 ah, yea the LS2 cam itself is not a tow oriented grind down low. So that is more than likely what you are seeing. The truck cans are made for low end grunt for moving heavier rides and towing
