      Upgrades for 402 LS

      I bought a 402 LS from some guy named Steve Rupp, he says it was only driven to church on sundays...

      But seriously, here's his build info and I need a little advice on perking it up.



      LS2 block
      AFR 205 custom ported heads
      Comp hardened push rods
      Bushed GM rockers (CME)
      Lunati Pro Series Crank (4" stroke and 24x reluctor wheel)
      Lunati H-beam rods
      Weisco Flow-dome forged pistons (about 11.1:1)
      Fast 90mm intake
      All ARP bolts, head studs, main bolts
      Includes FAST injectors/Fuel logs and sensors
      Canton pan.

      about 3,000 miles on the engine.

      Runs REAL hard and made 488 rwhp and 475 rwtq last time it was chassis dynoed.

      You can read about the build here... all the machine work was first class and it's a hard running engine.

      Read the build story here:

      It's a really good engine but I realized a couple of things.
      1. The 205 AFR heads were selected back when the engine displacement was 6.2L I think this is hurting top end power now that it's a 402.

      2. There are now better heads around BUT I don't want to hurt low end torque, that's where this engine shines right now.

      Is there a better head and intake setup that would still make good torque but boost top end? Step one might be to use the AFR 225's, but then there's the LS3 type...
      Thanks, David
