One question I have about the L76 engine is:

Is the L76 block & the LS2 block the same? If so, this link / article is very juicy. It looks like the L76 engine has huge potential.

Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong....

"The low lift numbers really played out in the torque curve with this combination, as the L92 heads and L76 intake helped the LS2 stomp out 494.9 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm with a very wide torque band. The fact that this combination also produced 546.8 hp at 6,500 rpm seems almost inconsequential. Remember, these are stock parts-with a somewhat warm cam-that can be put together for minimal money. This combination of parts will quickly become the standard by which bolt-on parts will be measured from this point on."

This is a stock ls2 bottom end, L92 heads, and L76 intake with a cam. If the G8 shows up with the L92 heads and L76 intake stock, that means you are a cam, LT headers, exhaust and intake away from some stupid numbers.

Sounds too good to be true that those mods would earn 184hp on the engine dyno. That's LS7 numbers for $2k....

There's nothing I love more than stupid amounts of horsepower.

So, will it be possible to replace the cam without messing up the ECU due to it having DOD?

If it's not a problem, then I can see myself destroying M5's with a big grin on my face! :)

I love stupid horsepower too.


Dont forget to check in on the GMHTP article

http://www.gmhightechperformance.com/tech/0702gm_ls2_engine_l92_heads/

The amazing new L92 head is a truly affordable high performance head that makes 500- plus horsepower out of a small-block very easy. The L92 heads are the "truck version" of the LS7 Corvette head. They feature a revised 70cc combustion chamber, massive intake ports, and a highly efficient exhaust port.
