      Shouldn't be anything worse than the rest of the LSx pistons. If you're staying NA don't worry about it. Start boosting or gassing and you may end up with issues.

      I'm pretty sure they are hypereutectic. (sp?)

      I've read they they were questionable above 650hp I think......

      I'd go with our new 700 hp NA LS7.
      Add a dry sump to the LS2 or L92, see what that costs.

Why have some shop build and sell you an engine? From my experience so far they are not hard engines to understand and stitch together.

      But again, if money's not an option and you just gotta have that dry sump system, go for the LS7.
      Couldn't agree more. Crate LS2 built with your own heads/cam/tuning shouldn't be more than $2500 on top of the crate motor.
