at $13000 for a base engine it better. Add another 3-4k for everything to make it work. The ls7 engine is old technology, too, and it would only take about $3000 in work on the LS3 to beat an ls7. GM built too good an engine in the ls3 making it really hard to sell the Z06 packaged Vettes. Lets talk LS9!

then again you still get a 6.0 with a few bucks into it making more power then both of those.at $13000 for a base engine it better. Add another 3-4k for everything to make it work.

right around 550rwhp seems to be limit on NA rwhp motors before they get to radical to some. a healthy 6.0 can get there same as a 377 as in 6.2 or 7.0

it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
Same HP level and close to 100 lbs heavier still means slower in the long run.

let me ask you this.. are you running an aluminum block in your truck? 1/10 isnt much to worry about for most ppl. if i worried about weight i wouldnt have a fullsize truck

If I had it to do all over again I would be. Let me ask you this, when you were running your 408 before it took a dump would you ever dream of trying to make a little ol' 4.8L mean by putting a turbo to it and pushing it to the limits?
I know DBRODS' LS2 is aluminum and he's faster than I am with less cubes and less nitrous. 400 lbs makes you about .4 seconds faster.

i would say depends on the application the LQ4 would have my money over the ls3 for boost any day and as far as cost for the price of a ls3 you can make a Lq4 way more powerful 6.0 ftw
yeah, money always seems to be the issue.
