Id still have to put a few grand into an LS1 motor to get it to last at 600rwhp na or boosted.
i was thinking 10k used. but damn thats expensive.
one upping hte lschassis community right now would simply be big heads big cam. streetability? the only thing unstreetable on that is how much you want to piss off your neighbors.
unstreetable = rollcage or race gas car. 600whp ls1 is not that.
honestly, heads/cam/magnacharger=done and done.
ls2+cam+magnacharger = done. that was my original route i wanted to go but i couldnt afford it. maybe next year, with a camaro attatched.
Give it another year or two for companies to really figure out the Ls7,
more ls2. theres not a lot of money to be made making parts for a motor that comes with titanium connecting rods stock. most people buy a ls7 to be done with the motor right out of the box. ls2 is interchangable other than displacement, look that route.
im sure we will see some insane #s for a streetable motor, due to the effecient head design they have.
lsx engines. lightest form of big displacement innifeciency without a lot of moving parts. 1 hp per cubic inch isnt too efficient in 2006.
and please resize your sig a bit smaller.
im compensating for a small penis
