Let's talk v8
I really dont think its that they are overlooked, there are many things to consider when choosing an engine / drivetrain package, the LS1 or rather gen3/4 sbc's just often cover many points better than the other available choices when all things are considered.

full on track cars can take a lot more liberties with shit than a street car. bell bottom kits and crazy wheel fitment look cool sliding on a track, but when i want to drive to taco bus, im going to ruin all of that shit. so it just doesnt work for me. function over fashion.

Stock for stock but as I said before, who's running a stock motor? Seriously...
An ls1 is a great daily driver as far as all that goes. I'm just saying that there are other options. I was speaking more in general.

Stock vs stock, modified vs modified it really doesnt matter, the LS1 makes plenty of power in stock form, go to modifying it and head selection gets retarded, ported stockers flowing nearly, and probably some above 300 cfm intake, 500 rwhp NA isnt exactly impossible, mid to high 400's with daily driveability easily.
But as I was saying when you consider the entire drivetrain as a package, ECU, transmission, front drive accessorys, maintaining it, aftermarket parts availability, even stock items available to put it into other chassis, I'm certain I overlooked nothing that would have done close to what I wanted.

How doesn't it matter?! The debate was on stock heads....
I agree as far as a whole package that the lsx series is a good route but this he's back to what I was saying before...
Are you going to put a stock T5 behind a built 400-600whp sbf? Of course not, these are all things that should be on the list if you are building a car anyway.
You're stating the obvious.

i know exactly what you're talking about, i just dont give a shit because i know how big my dick is and dont need to prove it by arguing on the internet like a little fucking girl about inane shit.
who cares what motor you put in your car? whatever it is, it's going to be faster than the stock KA.
