Two 31.8 mm restrictors leveled the playing field when it came to power, the strength of the LS7.R was the torque it produced at lower engine speeds.

Yeah that’s a tiny baby cam. Stock springs are how you lose valve control and hurt shit. Comp 26918-16 or BTR .660 Duals.

Except the only thing that a 6.2 SOHC motor can fit into a full size truck. And the weight penalty of the cast iron block does it no favors.

Con rods are the same, camshaft swaps over, lifters are the same, timing chain and gears.

Yeah, NA they aren’t failing up-top. I wind a Gen III LQ4 out to 7200. Been doing it for 2 years.

Plus you dont have to delete AFM. Have to put in better rods though.

All this rod ratios stuff is bullshit. The bottom end of the LS is never the weak link. You don’t need to de-stroke anything, and the 4.Greats are awesome low buck racers, but a 6.0 or 6.2 will spin just as high with the same valvetrain mods.

Except the C6.R spanked that ass in GT1.

The Vette is 400 to 900 pounds lighter, with a slightly more aerodynamic body, and gearing that lets the engine spin at roughly half the RPM at 70mph.

What 10,000 rpm race motors ever worked in a street car? 

Except all those parts bolt onto a truck V10. It’s an LA V8 with two cylinders tacked on. The “bespoke” parts are all interchangeable with truck parts.

Other than the cam-in-cam tech it’s a V10 truck motor, and not a particularly good one at that.

And every road car with an “F1" Engine has been either terrible or unreliable or both.

The downfall of the cam - in - block V8 is emission and variable valve timing, sure the later LS and LT motors have cam phasing meaning they can only retard or advance the cam, but they cannot change lobe separation angle. The Viper engine used this funky but awesome cam-in-cam design that would be phenomenal in the…

And a large displacement V8 at 8000+ RPM sounds better than any “refined” DOHC motor. 

Not really. The first LT1 was in 1970, it was a warmed up 350CID / 5.7L generation 1 small block chevy, Then there was the early 1990's LT-1 which was a Generation II small block it had roller cams, a terrible new ignition system, sequential fuel injection and a reverse flow cooling system. The LS was a white paper…

Redline: Ok, you got me here, pushrods don’t rev too well.

GT86's are shit track cars, regardless of tire.

I dont get the Coyote hate. They’re fantastic motors, and their valvetrain makes them stable to 9K. Add some boost and they are going to be rockets.

No naturally aspirated camaro is beating an LFA in any kind of race.
