i need to know what else i can do to get more power out of my ls without a swap, without nitrous, and without forced induction. i already have all aluminum pulleys, headers, full exhaust system, intake, lightened flywheel and stage 2 clutch. can someone give me some ideas???

 

Get a quality tune. Mild port and polish and some valvetrain work. Bore it over and slam in some high compression pistons. You're kind of shoe-horning yourself into not very much power potential by limiting your options to that extent.

 

Without boost, you're pretty much stuck. The only thing you can do at this point is internals, an LS/VTEC and continue to dump money into it for very little gain.

Why are you against turboing your LS? You're going to spend 10x as much building an NA setup with half the gain.

 

what about adding a skunk2 manifold, but like was stated before, your not gonna get much gain if you stick with the ls engine

You pretty much took everything out of the equation other than simple bolt ons. Those won't make any significant power increases though.

 

Actually with some headwork, valvetrain and a set of big all motor cams, you can make over 170whp on an LS. Just make sure you have a tuner who's done non-vtec motors before.

...but having said that, I'm boosting my LS in a month lol.

 

im boosting my LS soon to in one week ..........stay tuned

 

Boost or big cams and great tune!

 

Like has been said, you've covered everything that would give any kind of significant increase in power...either FI or swap to a GSR...otherwise your going to spend alot of money with not much gain...

--- Aftermarket Intake is kinda useless for a basically still stock motor. Your stock LS mani will do just fine until you get more whp down.

 

ok expletive it. you guys talked me into it. how bout a b20 block(don't know which one yet) bored over with lightened crank, high compression pistons and rods with a gsr head ported and polished and a bad *** valvetrain setup? i need to know what exactly to get, to achive my goal of a badass CRVTEC swap. TURBO IS IFFY RIGHT NOW. Thanks
