I would agree w this view. My choice is to "keep it simple stupid". Its one reason why I decided on a ZR-1 rather than a C5Z. The LT-5 can be modified to produce
very competitve power levels while still retaining good mileage economy, and idle quality. I think that these characteristics have led GM back to the
DOHC architecture. Perhaps the experience w the LT4 has led GM to look for NA power and away from FI. Ford has demonstrated the potential of an American DOHC motor.
If I was going to choose FI, I'd go Turbo over SC.
