BOOM, headshot!

Not mad at anything. Not the same as the valve timing available to the lt1. The timing can be advanced that's it. Which does nothing to bolt on car. Coyote full adjustment. Hence more gains from tune. Less from actual swap. No hate just facts.
So...there are lines drawn for oxygenated fuels? Where is the cutoff for power adder qualification?

GM VVT comes up short according to you and your mad at superior forms of VVT.... got it.

I agree. L&M appears to have a great set of intake cams for $800 bucks with no support mods necessary. Gained 20whp on an auto 5.0.

You know GM guys are really whiny as **** when the complain that Ford has a superior design and it's not fair how much can be changed with just a tune. They feel opening the motor and replacing internal bits and pieces is somehow the same thing.

No, advantage to Ford for building a motor with those capabilities.

Well i suppose if the other fuels are heavily oxygenated then yes they are a power adder to. For sure not a common fuel.

Less common than GM motors eating themselves, and that's weird because at my track GM cars seem to race less than Ford cars.
Ok.....so they need help to stay alive. All you had to say.

In my part of the woods way more furds eat themselves. I even fixed my notch. It ate itself. Didn't yours eat itself to? Corey had one eat itself also.

Well....actually there are drop in cams that need nothing other than a cam.

Yup....one would think the way these guys cry about rockers that they would be against adjusting anything that touches oil. They must be biased.

Vvt love here. But if you adjust it then it's like a cam swap. Be no different than changing the cam timing on a non vvt engine.

5.0 motor is more technologically advanced.

LS motor much smaller, lighter, economical, simpler and EFFICIENT. More power and tons more torque.

Right, and they suck. You would be stupid to change the cam to one of those and not change anything else. Huge waste of time and you know it.

Where is the line?

Nope, see the parameters I stated above.

Nope. I got my 4.6 already hurt from a lean event...wasn't the motor's fault. It was user error, it didn't eat its self like a dropped valve or broken OPG.

So your mad at Ford tech too because it's better than GM tech huh?

You still gonna be mad at Ford VVT when GM puts out a DOHC V8 that can do the same?

Meanwhile, back at the farm.... you justify doing 4 cams on the yote for a measly 20hp and triple the money and quadruple the work!

Yes the coyote design in respect to gaining more from a tune is superior. But the trade off is less total gains from actual cam swap. More expense. And less total power output NA. Pros and cons. Not sure I'd be mad about that. Both are good attributes

No if and when GM builds this dohc mods can be compared more apples to apples because the motors will be similar. Common sense. And if I had to guess it will outshine its ford counterparts. Like always

So if I do it, its a joke, but if Hio spends 10x that to go a couple tenths faster that's completely jusitifed? Just wanna make sure you get your BS straight.

Edit: Also its 2 cams for 20hp and thats the same amount as your LS cam kit so you are wrong again. You really suck at trolling.

So in theory my tuner should change there price scale according to this thread. It's 500 for the first tune when internal mods or power adders have been done and 250 if it's bolt on and better fuel so now he should charge 500 for just tuning FTW ???
