Stock LS vs stock LS-v.. Stock LS all day!! My current setup has been going strong at 286whp/302wtq for almost a year now.

- Fri Sep 14, 2012 7:26 pm #315693 I'm considering the CSS method. My car is "budget" minded. I only want about 450whp. Spending $1300 on sleeved block alone seems, like a bit much for my "goal".

Also, with the LS head aftermarket valve/springs and retainers will allow you to rev higher.
