**** this thread sucks ***. I've PMed Jay about it.

PM me what you'd want on the 4l80e and some info..

There's a local Lq4 engine that has 36k or so on it, guy wants $700. Oil pan and intake are trashed but otherwise says it is good. Since I'm planning a 408, all I really need is the block and heads...but on that note, I could buy this, stud it, and run it for a while and save a bit of cash up and build when it blows/when I'm ready instead.

If a ls can be cam only why can't modulars be tvs only?

Bc you have cams only to... plus swapping out blowers is entirely different than a cam. A blower changes the engine drastically as a cam/s not so much as a blower.

Makes about as much sense as cam only.

Both can be a drastic change, so you are wrong.

You'd look good in a cavalier.

You clearly didnt get the point again. A blower changes the engine more than a cam would which is my point...

Wrong. A blower only forces air into your engine, that's it. A camshaft is essentially the "brain" of an engine. If you swap out a cam for a different cam, you are practically changing everything about that engine.

Wrong. How long does a cam change take? My blower replacement takes about 3 hours and a 6 pack of beer.

A blower changes the effective displacement of an engine. A cam doesn't.

Yep blower swaps are easy as hell.

And hammer im pretty sure my borexstroke still comes out to 4.6L. The effective changing is LS1Tech talk and garbage.

I am back for a couple days and I noticed a video of a vette doing 3.99. So what do the furd guys post now when the modular vs lsx argument comes up.

*stirs the pot*

So you are saying a cam is greater than FI? Lol gtfo a Supercharger changes everything about the engine. Hell turbos do to. Some engines run more efficient with turbos than with out. Forcing more air into the engine causes a lot more stress on the engine than any cam would be able to. A fair comparison would be cam swap vs cam swap not cam swap vs blower swap.

No it doesn't. If that were true then by definition, ANY modification would then change the displacement of an engine since it gives the feeling of a larger engine due to the increase of power.

A blower does not change the dynamic compression of a motor. A cam does.

Do you think compression (whether it's static or dynamic) is a critical part of the motor? Be honest.
