The impressive part for me is that you can do THIS on 87 octane.... My wallet would be fatter if the TBSS would perform on 87. Don't get me wrong... I love that GM kept w/ the LS motors, went bankrupt somewhere along the way, and yet still delivered performance engines throughout the years. I've always hated the 4.6/5.4 mod motors. I had a 90 LX 5.0 before the TBSS.

maybe i'm just a neanderthal, but i like lots of cubic inches, push rods, and only one cam to worry about. all those cams with their magic joo joo are too scary and wonderous for my primitive brain to handle.
I liek the new engines in my old POS mullet ride, only way i can stay in front of most of these *******.
I still need heads and that simply just cost more than my whole ****** engine.
