The new L92 and "Torque Plate Honing" explained


L92 heads = 30-50 RWHP on LS2


The LS7 and Torque Plate Honing Explained
More Good stuff from PRI. I cannot being to convey how much great stuff was at PRI, and how much information there is to convey about what all we saw there. But here is some more great information for the GM crowd out there.

The L92
We did a walk through of the L92, and one of the things that stands out most here to me is that it's a straight bolt on to the ubiquitous LS2 found in the CTS-V, GTO, Corvette, Trailblazer, etc. more impressive though is that it's a straight forward 30-50 RWHP bolt on. Heck LG Motorsports already has a L92-equipped LS2 putting out 485 RWHP [Link: LS1Tech Forum], thats more than a stock LS7!

The LS7
The real gem in the GMPP crown is of course the LS7, but you have to wonder why it cost so much more than an LS2? Part of that is the exotic parts like the Titanium Rods and part of it is the extra process like the Torque Plate Honing, which Tom explains to us in this video. Anyhow, enjoy watching.
