There are some fast ones but they all sound like ****.
Aka a wet fart.
800hp NA would be awesome as hell.
Cost wise you are better off using a blower or a turbo.
Having an NA car though is a different feeling because it's all natural and all motor.
Plus the responsiveness too.
I'm thinking of going same route as you in future but with an aluminium block.

again, this forum tends to be more street oriented where guys won’t cut up Their cars. Of course 800 hp is easy. 1000 hp Na is easy just takes $$$$
This site used to be more about helping and learning. Now it's all about comparisons and whose "faster, quicker, cheaper, better". I've seen plenty of OG's post up that they don't come around much anymore because they got tired of the bickering and personal attacks as soon as someone disagrees like it's impossible to keep the topic technical. Or they got tired of someone whose never built a car or designed anything giving out advice and critiquing like they're an expert. To me it doesn't matter if your 1000hp car runs 8s or 12s, if you haven't blown it up and actually drive it you have something of value to add. Not everyone focuses on power, or time, or mph, or cost. That's why it's a hobby and everyone doesn't have the same motor, color, trans, cam, etc. If only everyone could get past trying to validate themselves and have real technical discussions and help each other this site could go back to how it was. Seems like a whole new wave of ls owners lately hitting the site and trying to learn. Just ashame they won't get the same help as those from a decade ago or earlier.

Helping, learning and sharing is how it should be.

If I may... I joined up in 2016 just to learn more about the LS engine. And boy have I learned! And not just about LS engines. I learned who to pay attention to, because there is a LOT of knowledge to be had here. And as I learned, I shared in kind where I could.
This is still a great forum! Maybe it was better 2015 and before, but I wasn't here then, yet. Still a lot of very knowledgeable, HELPFUL people here.
Sorry if this rambles a bit, but I wrote as I thought it up.

is what you mean?Last edited by AINT SKEERED; Jan 19, 2020 at 12:10 PM.
Lol. I've been on here a long time. Learned about everything I know off here that has to do with cars along with a few other random sites. I think installuniveristy back in the day was one when I swapped my first clutch. Still anything I need to know as far as installing parts usually I can find in an old thread on tech. Maybe that's why it has fell off a bit. That and if you ask something that has been answered you usually have 3 or 4 ******** asking if you know how to use the search button. And I agree with Hammer, fb
