Instead of a 6.2L L92 that I was originally gonna get, I got an LS2 from a Trailblazer SS instead. Motor has very few miles on it. So let the fun begin.

Just as good, what are your trans plans, I dont think the lt1's t56 is bolt on friendly with the later generation engines without requiring mods.

For a transmission am thinking I go with the T56 Magnum. The LT1 T56 will not bolt on to it without changing the input shaft.

Did some tinkering around with the Trans Dapt 1" set back adapter plates.

My tbss loved nitrous, and loved timing. It was a freak. With my tune and a 175 shot , ported tb, and headers went 12.88 spraying from a dig. Should be a cool build

Full length headers, maybe, nah probably, a cam swap, relocate coils, either new or aftermarked valve covers. Dunno what else. Keeping the DBW, unless someone has a good reason not to.

The only reason not to that I know if is so hat you dont have to fab up the "gas pedal" and make it feel reasonable to use when your driving. Thats why alot of guys swap to the cable style and use the factory gas pedal. IIRC the truck pedal is kind of bulky and ends up mounting at a funky angle because of its size and the shape of the floor..

Im looking into the pedal ordeal, how hard is it to change to cable if your computer is DWB
