@@chrisbryant1657 The LS1 and LS2 and LS6 engines are fairly rare in comparison to most other LS/LY/LQ, etc. Production numbers are much higher for the later generation engines as most were installed in a variety of vehicles including trucks & SUVs whereas the LS1, LS2 and LS6 variants were only available in high performance, lower production vehicles.

Hey I am kind of new to the whole adding power to the truck scene I have a lq9 engine and I'm wondering what you think the most reliable and affordable way to make between five and six hundred horsepower and also it will be driven often on the streets. Last question would be do you think the 4l65 would hold that much power without kind of destroying it? And is there anything else I should do? Any and all help is very much appreciated I would like to keep it n/a but doesn't necessarily have to be. If I had a choice I would keep it n/a and throw a shot of nitrous if you think that would be a decent idea? And even I would consider a turbo kit to throw on it obviously not a ton of boost but I just don't know the best way to go about it and I don't have anyone to ask

[@richardholdener1727]

[@stevesolo16]

The biggest isue with putting adders on a stock LS bottom end is the pistons. The ring lands are to narrow, which allows "burn through," and, the hypertutatic material shatters like a ww2 pineapple granade, destroying the engine. It would be good to know what a stock long-block, sans the stock pistons, would hold, reliably.

I’ve had great success with just bolt ons like headers, 100cpi cats, sports mufflers, otr and a fast lsxr manifold with the 92mm tb that made 315hp at the wheels in the donor car which weighs 1000kg/2200lbs less.

Unless of course you trying to fit into rules for some racing class etc, we run 6.0L max rule unless your boosted then 3.5L, yeah I know you can make 1000hp boosted 3.0L etc but not for same money looking at here for 600hp
