Re: The LT-5 could have been a contenda!
Would good zinc levels be even more important for this engine design since the tappets are mechanical?

I love the way they vary the runner length.

Re: The LT-5 could have been a contenda!
They didn't mention cam phasing or VVT or direct injection; the whole bag of tricks. I wonder if they were only discussing the changes?
