    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.

    yes for every 100lbs its 1/10th but if i was worried about 90lbs which would almost be a full tenth im sure i could make it up other wise besides the weight of a motor.


    as for 4.8L no never once thought of it but it was good price to get truck driving.

    Dbrods probably has a lighter truck and better chosen mods. his motor weight isnt what making him faster

    if we were worried about weight we wouldnt be modding trucks for actual drag racing.



    the price of th LS3 isnt worth the performance one bit. now if hte money was same as ls1 or ls2 or LQ then yes go with LS3 but since ppl want crazy money no sense on using a LS3 when its nothing more then a 6.0 with a .060 bore. you could build an iron LS3 if you chose to for less then the cost of a LS3
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    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
