Nothing against the LS motors, mind you, just nothing beats the thumpity-thump of a BBC. You could never get an LS motor to sound like that.

    I love seeing the traction out of the BBC guys why yall get so butt hurt. Main reason most people are still building SBC and BBC is because thats what they grew up building and are comfortable with.

    Partially because they've been around for 40 years and have an amazing aftermarket. I'm not debating the fact that BBC and SBC are winning races at the strip, that's scientific fact. Just saying they do in fact have a much better aftermarket.

    The LS is finally getting there with the cubic inches. It's just taking a while. The money spent on big cube LS motors is insane.

    I just don't think they'll ever get to 600+ cubic inches...and plus its just hard to compete with an engine (BBC) that has heads available for it that you can throw a tennis ball through LOL
