If you want the LS Next to be really strong. Get the Next 2 upgrade. 1/2inch head and main studs and the material in the main area is increased so you can use either the standard , or big block main journals. Bigger Billet caps too.

 

Wake up this thread -

Now LS Next SHP Pro is cast out of the same higher quality iron as the LS Next - should be much better for higher HP builds and half mile/mile effort cars due to better oiling...
