And, yes, I get the implication in your question, but, to me, it seems, maybe, a little bit arrogant. I suggest that it's unlikely you'd be where you are now had those folks not done their "20 year old stuff." Ya think your attitude might sour potential customers who are outside of your flock of admirers here on the Registry forum? Much less get someone connected with media interested in your product? ![]() Quote:

I'm not selling anything. When i saw the crazy prices on LT5 parts i went out and found/made lower cost replacements and were initially made for myself but if anyone wants what i have they are welcome to them. Basicly i don't care where or who does your motor the advise i'm trying to pass on to you is not worth doing a 368 for the money. I know it's your money and you can do whatever you want with it but you came on an open forum with the question did you think everyone was giong to agree with you? Because someone disagrees with you does this mean they have an attitude. If you think you won't like the answers i suggest don't post questions on a puplic forum. Question right back at ya, has any other tuner done durability tests? I will need documents from GM on the durability of the 368. Well if five 1000 mile trips,racing her hard,driving in Chicago traffic is not good testing,what is? We try to do testing on parts as best as we can without having to spend millions of dollars and thousands of hours, Jerry tested his head gaskets did he spend millions and thousands of hours i don't know,i was satisfied with his testing and i'm using his head gaskets will they hold up 200k miles i don't know i'll post up when i get there,so far they held up to 4500rpm clutch drops, 130mph 1/4 with some aggresive street driving,good enough for me. Man if you use 1 qrt every 8k miles that is one killer motor i would not touch the short block,there i go again disagreeing with you.lol LS7 pushrods been around since caveman. ![]() The only attitude i have is because i'm not a yesman. ![]() You asked i replied maybe you didn't like the answer so i have an attitude. Oh well,lifes too short. Eitherway enjoy your choice. Pete P.S. For those that know me know i love the LS7/LS9 the reason for smiley.

Hey Hib, Pete's Greek, need to cut him a little slack
![]() I have known Pete from BG and here, bought some of his parts. He is a stand up guy. He has spent some time and a good deal of money on cam research, and has come out with good stuff. The tech comment... LS7 has more technology? I own both. The LT5 has better tech then the LS7. We all know multi cam and valves out does a single setup. Didn't the last LT5 design ( mid 90's) make 550hp from 350ci. LS7 is 505hp from 427ci and dropping valves.... |

Hib,
If you knew Pete, you would want his advice. Looks like you are set in doing the 368! Go for it and I'm sure you will be 100% happy with the end result. No doubt barney will be in a magazine by this time next year ![]() Please keep us updated and look forward to see it! ![]() David |

Pete,
You don't need to justify yourself and your capability to anyone on this forum, especially anyone that doesn't turn their own wrenches. |

I'm extremely happy with the work Pete did for the Turq Monster.

Might sound like a stupid question but when your talking about 368 is that a LT5 punched .020 over ? Or is that the street skinner package ?
