LSX compared to SBC
Boy, I'll never make that mistake again. I bought a cam once and was warned that it was "for racing only." I was young and dumb and didn't know any better. I should have heeded the warning. I installed it and was so excited to take it out, but as soon as my tires hit the non-racetrack pavement, the engine seized.

I have raced for 30 plus years. Started with SBC. I have had some decent SBC combos. Seen many combos to compare. I have a super simple combo now. 364 cube LS, 823 heads ,milled 080. Vic jr intake, custom cam from the best. Flowtechinduction.com, Dyna tech headers. I have no idea the horsepower, but the car is about 2775 ish and has been a best of 5.88 with a 1.220 60ft. Do the math. I will never go back to old school. You have no idea how many 400s, 421s, 434s etc that I have outran. They have TONS more dollars invested. Pick the right parts and dollar for dollar, the LS shines. Now granted, if you are buying aftermarket heads and all that, I think power is going to be similar. As someone has already said, its just a air pump. It doesn't know what generation of engine it is.
Yeah sorry about that...
Originally, I was just asking a very general question that had nothing to do with the specific parts I had bought and I ended up getting bullied and insulted by a bunch of people acting like 14 year old's when the fact is literally every thing in the S10 is temporary right now (not a representation of the end result that I hope for at all) just to get it running before winter hits. I found some other posts on this site a few months ago while I was researching and it was the exact same thing, a bunch of people being rude and acting like thugs to each other. I guess I knew what to expect but i just got caught up in it.
I shouldn't have taken it out on you and I apologize.
If all goes well I will end up with a single turbo'ed LY6 with a TH400 or 4L80E, the truck will be back halfed and more then likely have a narrowed 8.8 unless I find a sweet deal on a 9 inch...I am literally just playing around with the 5.3 so I can learn (and not about what intake to use LOL) about LS engines.. I wasn't actually trying to say that intake was a good choice for that engine with a stock cam...I was really just trying to say that in my opinion it was good enough to get a general idea of the engines power for a comparison to older engines and I still think that's true...if people reading this don't agree I respect your opinion but all the drama is just childish
Anyone reading feel free to continue spamming insults and **** talking....if that's what you enjoy doing with your time I got no problem with that but I would just say that you should think about what you put out into the word even when it's done anonymously.
