I have some piston damage in my ls1, and the road i decided to go down is either a 402 or a 427 ls2 with:
102mm lsx
102mm tb
trick flow cnc'd heads (consistently dynow higher and flow better than afr)
lg g5x3 cam
callies compstar crank/rods
weisco pistons
comp cams pro gold rocker arms
melling high volume oil pump (to support the cooler)

I just need to decide if the extra $1000 is worth it for 25 more cubes....

the 454 lsx is nice, but is a little overkill and over budget for my needs :smack * cant believe i said that, must be the wife typing*

you are going to run 500hp of NO2?

I still plan on making about 600-650hp when its all said and done, and i shouldnt need much help getting there with that comp. I know a stock cub LS2 with the cnc'd trick flow heads and a more mild cam makes about 550hp with stock maf, intake and tb and exhaust. so i should be pretty close to 600 with what i listed with a set of long tubes/high flow cats/exhaust.

realistically, 600-650 is about all you can use in autocross, and it will still give me more than enough power to rape at 1/4 mile too lol
