Re: LE2 on a stock LTx

some say yes, some say no. ive seen a lot of lt1s that i think no. but im gonna do it (spin it hard) to mine because i know where its been and how i treat it. you are probably the best judge of what the short block will take.

Re: LE2 on a stock LTx

It does want about 6500rpm or more to be most effective. That can be a stretch on a stock bottom end, I've kept pulling the cam back more and more to make it peak earlier, just can't do it that much more before power is down.

Usually the big killer is throwing some N2O on top of it.

so LE2 and say a 100shot would be a bad idea? (my motor has 30,000k miles) i beat on it daily but never really bring it past 5.
