Yes, this too. The thing with LT5s is that all of the parts are expensive and when you do cams you spend $1500+ for all four of them. But the parts are there, they're just a lot of money. Well worth it if you have deep pockets though (or twisted priorities)

Oh and LT5s are as reliable as anything, probably the best engine that's ever been in a GM car.

LT5 are very reliable but expensive to mod. Stock injectors are known to fail(Rochesters) but other than that very realiable. Oil cooler lines leak now due to age as well. Comparable to LS in terms of potential but again expensive

Long tube headers,degreeing the stock cams,ported plenum blah blah can result in a 118-120PH on drag radials car. Pretty good!

Beside LPE these guys are awesome with LT5s...

Yeah there are definitely people out there who are dedicated to LT5s. I bet Callaway knows what they're doing too. How I wish I could work there....
