I will reply to you. I have had supercharged Fords, big block chevys, small block chevys and ls engines. I was a big fan of the ls7 427 small block ls motor but like I posted I have seen too many losing oil pressure and it wasnt because of high miles. The LT4 is a good engine but not my preference for a hot small block. The ls1,2,3 are good engines and make enormous power when they are modded but they have lots of valve train noise,, ticking... issues. It wasnt until I installed a supercharger that my ticking went away or maybe the supercharger drowned out the noise. Those engines do impress when they are boosted. None of those have the sophistication of the lt5. I am very picky when I chose the car and engine combo of my choice because it is my right and its my enjoyment. I can say of you that you like and accept anything that turns over. I am surprised that you just want to pile on to that other guys comment. I would certainly not consider you a friend if I ever saw you at some event. I guess you can go back to your ls1tech website. Now I am done.
