I'm talking about normal numbers, not 1 pull and done kinda hero chit.

Example: I know most peeps build LSA at about 700whp and my POS condor has lived at or above that level for years now.
I don't know about dyno numbers, but I know of at least 4 that have been into the 8s on the stock bottom end.

Seeing talk regarding SLB LS9 and LSA. FWIW, the LS9 slb is certainly stronger than the LSA slb. The only things the two SLB engines are identical below the deck surface is the block itself and oil squirters. Everything within the block is different; the crank, rods, pistons, main caps are all different between the two engines.

The trinity is a great motor, but the LS9 is way, way, way stronger.
Another dumb comment. Define really fast? Really fast to me is sub 7.0 something modulars have done frequently. The ls struggles to do it without billet blocks.

Evolution did that back in 2008 and a 7 in 2009. So, I'm not convinced about the way stronger comment.

It's not a dumb comment at all, the overwhelming majority of guys going that fast aren't using a modular or LSx.

I didn't know the trinity was out in 2008.

So what mine made mid 800s with SLB. A handful of local lsa powered cars didn't make it to 700 before taking a crap lmao. Yet online a few have made hero 1000+ dyno pulls. Same goes wirh the ls9, 5.3 etc.. Ls myth is strong.

Trinity is just as strong as the old iron 5.4s. So there are 2 making over 800 in this thread alone.

Condor and Trinity are equally as strong. Rods and pistons are the weak point on both.

The SBE ls9 here has made over 1200 whp, been 8's with a stick, made a **** load of street pulls and is still kicking. So where are the SBE trinity's doing that?

Since both of you spend so much time on ls1tech you shouldn't have a issue finding them. Hell i think there are even some slb pick up truck motors right around 800whp. No reason a higher performance engine couldn't do it.
What fact did I ignore? That the lt4 makes less power mod for mod? So no proof? Gotcha.

Yet 9 others explode before making 1000. They are reliable to around 800 just like the Trinity. After that it's a crap shoot. They made ~1100 with the 5.4 years ago.

There are a **** ton of LS9's making over 800 whp on the SBE. Just go peruse corvette forum. Let's see these equally strong trinity's making 1200+ whp.

There are a **** ton of SLB 5.4/5.8s making over 800. One car doesn't mean all will do the same. Ask all those 5.3 guys that blow their turds apart before 700 but but Joe blow made 1000 lmao.

It's interesting that you keep wanting to bring up the 5.4s when we are specifically talking about the Trinity's. What's the fastest stock bottom end trinity been?
