    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.

    2001 chevy green = LS1 stock, 3k stall, 373 posi, tuned by LSX Power in CS TX

    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.

    To an extent...Everything thats available for SB and BB is available for the LS platform and visa versa, EXCEPT...Cubic Inches

    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

    They may get over 600, but imagine the cost of the rotating assembly alone. If they do get to 600+ inches, imagine the power they could make though. We've got 4xx lsx motors hitting 1800+ hp. Imagine a 600ci. You'd be stuck with Allpro heads too, which would cost you another 10k.
