I am building an LS2 block with probably the L92 heads. I will be doing some Diamond pistons and Eagle H-beam connecting rods. I would like to do a stock crank. I am wondering what is better an LS2 crank, LS6, L92, LQ9?
I know all these can handle what i will be thorwing at it. I feel that a stock crank will be fine untill I can scrape up the funds to get a Lunatti forged crank.
My truck will be recieving a custom Turbo system and probably a 100shot on N2O. The cam will be 228/224 .575/.576 115+4 Basically whats going into my 4.8 now untill I build the LS2. The turbo will be a Garrett GT3582R Untill I get the forged crank than I will upgrade and will put that turbo into my GF's Celica.

Any suggestions, comments?

Thanks, I was thinking of ditching the stock seats and welding a crossbar behind the seats for 5point harnesses' but I really don't wanna spend the money on "sport" seats I was thinking of finding some C6 Z06 seats or C5 sport seats...maybe even GTO seats and putting them in

no 3 out of the 4 cylinder tubes will go to one tube than the last remaining will go to a 2-1. I call it a 3-2-1? But it guess its a 3-2-1-2-1?

Um, it flows a bit better than a log and has the same space saving design....Almost. The other side, Pass. side will be mostly aesthetic. Ram horn stylin intake that will go 4-2-1 or a double Y with the curved tubes comming from the exhaust flange. It is an equal length header that will go to another 2-1 that will merge with the dirvers side header and go into one big tube to the turbo flange. I want something thats eye appealing and functional...and It will flow in a cramped space. I think these designs will do that because I hate the look of Logs
