putting a LS6 on a stock internal LS1 might give you 5hp if that. Generally you wont see the bigger gains from it unless you have cam/heads

every bit helps, but is it worth 399 bucks?

Thats cool. Now Crazyfarmer would be sticking a LS1 under one of those gravity wagons <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I grew up on a farm 675 acres mostly commodities.
Helped my dad for 21 years and then he retired from the Biz.

Thanks, Dave
