That was patheric. Swapping the LSA for a LS3 isn't pointless but it's not needed. LS3's are stout. He could have just upgraded headunits, switched to e85, or something else. If I can beat a built Z06 on spray making over 900 then he should have done better.

It's possible the original LS3 was blown or something, and needed to be replaced/rebuilt. That would be a good assumption for swapping it out for a LSA. Or maybe the guy has future mods planned and likes the idea of having a stouter motor for more future horses. Maybe he got a smoking deal on the LSA and couldn't pass it up for whatever reason. Or maybe dude is simply an idiot and had no idea why he swapped it in. The assumption game is very popular on the internets. Lol

Agreed. The LSA heads do not flow better than LS3 heads. They can handle more abuse and are stronger but they DO NOT flow better. LS3 Heads flow the best...
Why would anyone put the Torque Monster LSA in a vette? A vette needs a centrifugal blower not whipple or eaton. A vette is too light and doesn't need the low end grunt that a V or a cobra needs. He probably spun his *** off.

In case you missed it, the vette in this thread with the LSA has a centrifugal blower, it says a vortech V3.
