Why dont you just upgrade yours? The 300cc of extra capacity for the LS2 isnt worth £10k!
A simple cam swap with the same mods will have you blasting past similar setup LS2's

I think modding a CV8 will net the same results.

Not convinced my intercooler was working at the last dyno day - be interesting to compare on the day scratchchin

If it was not I am likely to be matching or exceeding the VXR's I think......... For sure it was not working at either of the Pod meets so puts me very close to Jez's beast.

Price to change may be easier off course to buy one already done like Tiler's old car.

Thats right, its only 5% more displacement, while the LS2 heads and cam are probably also better than the LS1, you dont need to do much to the LS1 with a blower to get it to equal and/or exceed a stock LS2 and blower at a vastly lower cost. Just depends if you want a smaller boot or not smile
