Now what makes an LS2 engine handle more boost better than an LS1 engine? or a 370 or 408 iron block for that matter? I just want to try to understand this all. I mean wouldn't either a 370 or 408 hold up better to high lbs of boost than an aluminum LS2? or no? And also, so is the 370 iron block an LS2 or an LQ engine? I got a little confused the way it was posted. I understand the part about hte LS2s being close to the 370 ci but aluminum, but i wasn't clear about which block i am looking into.
