Cool, you've now compared a bare KA24DE engine, to an LS1 with transmission.

Heres a little more cool information for you
SXOC Bulletin Board - View Single Post - Guess the weight, sr20det and ca18 ??????

IF you dont want to click the link, its the full weight of an SR20DET and a CA18DET with transmission and accessorys.

SR20DET @ 216.5Kg or 476.3 lbs
CA18DET @ 227.5Kg or 500.5 lbs

You've got the LS1 listed using chevys page at 497, so at my blocks 60 lb weight, im at 547 lbs, now if you've got a brain and take into account 75 lbs + of the LS1/T56's extra weight is in the transmission, and realize this weight is low and in the center of the car, and the SR car is generally running a 20 lb or so intercooler stuck in the nose of the car. The 75 extra lbs i've got over an SR car isnt exactly going to cause the negative handling tim is hoping for, and that doesnt even take into account the weight loss of going from cast iron manifolds on the LS1 to headers.

Sorry buddy, you've again proven that you fail to prove a valid point, or at the very least fail to read what was stated originally, as I never stated that my car was going to be lighter than a SR20 car, I said the handling isnt going to be something awful as tim is figuring on.
