Everyone has an opinion. I will stick with ls motors until some thing better comes along. Like maybe a helium 3 powered engine.Originally Posted by Fasglas
IMHO if you want big cubes a BBC is still the way to go.
When you take a royal azz whoopin at the drag strip, chances are it was dished out by a big block Chevy.

It's not really just an opinion. A LS motor still can't hang with a healthy big inch BBC and a carburetor.
LMAO..... Really....

The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......
LMAO....yes
You don't get out much do you? The LS motor guys have been hanging with and beating the BBC, BBF guys for years now... Go to Yellow Bullet Forums - Powered by vBulletin and lurk around. You will find that LS motors are winning some big races in different classes that have been ruled by BBs over the years... not any more

How quick are they running? We have 7 and 8 second rides cruising the streets around here with BBCs.
There's been a hand full reach high 6's, more than I can count running 7's... I would leave someone out. Hell, there's an LS based full size truck on this site that has the potential to run a 7 lol. How much power are those 7 and 8 sec. cars putting down?... chances are you can get as much power out of a turbo'd 370
Just to keep it on topic... to the OP... I don't think people want to spend the money on a LS based 454 and the cost it would take to get the potential out of that many cubes. Your talking about an expensive fuel system, transmission that could handle the power, and other parts that could handle the power. There's alot of factors that come into play that make you step back and say "do I need that much power for what I'm trying to do?''

BBCs have gone that quick and quicker for years. It's no big deal for a BBC to make over 2,500hp.
