He should have bought my S256. He would have won the internets then.

eh, at least try to help him now.

How much farther do you guys think he can take it without blowing up? I know if he converts to E85, he can get a nice gain and probably jump over 300whp easily on that mustang dyno he dynoed on.

Why would a magazine put a car on the cover with a blown engine?

As per the GM build book, the LE5 and LNF share rod material. As to if they are forged or not, I do not know.

Ross... STFU. Get a boost gauge. Get a wideband. Quit being a little bitch and start doing something smart instead of seat of the pants modding.

Told by who? Because I can tell you that my car has an LS7 in it. But we all know that I would be full of ****.

A GM tech and the official statement was some LE5's came with forged rod and some did not. Of course there wasn't any recording of which ones came with which rods.

Wow.

And to think I would have ever doubted a GM tech. They must be the smartest people ever.

The OP could probably pass as a GM tech if he pulled his pants up. I don't see why so many people listen to whatever they are told at the dealer just because they have a nice GM sticker on their shirt.

Don't run your mouth accusing people they don't know what they are talking about, when you obviously don't know what you're talking about. A GM tech stated that some have forged rods, and some don't. The reason this information was found out, was because glen blew a piston out the side of his block under what? 12 pounds of boost? That's really nothing, and with forged rods, his car would still be running. He did the research and came across this new information, which is a big heads up for the rest of us 2.4 guys.
