As we expected based on your sig - not stock at all.

We don't, but you mentioned what a "stock" car can do, but a "stock" engine with a turbo ain't stock no more. Keeping the terms legit, is all.

There is stock, and then "stock". The latter applies to the goods you list above. Technicalities are what differentiate truth from fiction. You don't seem to know the difference.

"Sealed" engines are what racers in certain classes must use. What you can get from a dealer or junkyard can be all over the map. Take the blinders off.

SLOW -- here's what you're struggling with -- "....a 4,600lb truck or 4,000lb car can run mid 9's with a stock 4.8L or 5.3L ...." If you'd said "....can run mid 9's by TURBOCHARGING a 4.8 or 5.3L stock long block....." we wouldn't be trying to help you understand how to use the English language to convey what you actually mean. Living in the DC 'burbs, you're close enough to tell us a thing or two about politicians, that's for sure.

Back on point -- to the OP - stock LS3 or cam/spring change or one of the higher output crate variants (480? 525?)

LOL - insecurity begets personal attacks. That’s predictable. Like pointing at the shiny thing in the ditch to distract from the fact that....the intellectual arsenal at your disposal is bankrupt. We’ll wait while you look up words and craft your response.

For the record, that was NOT worth the wait. You can do better.

I’m good, I know what I can do and don't care what you do, so life is a win win for me.

Oh man, now EVERYONE'S gonna want one! There won't be a used Cayman on the market anywhere once they see this footage.
NOWHERE in that video does it sound like it's even working up a sweat! Plus hardly ever shifting
The Cayman is my favorite Porsche, and the LS3 completes it.
Thank you Michael for posting this!

I removed them myself, you guys spew enough nonsense that I don't need to add to it.

As far as a Porsche LS swap I thought about it, but couldn't find one thing it does better then a C6Z.
