I have a question for 72 owners. It's well chronicled the emissions impact on horsepower and torque versus the 70 mainly and 71 slightly......regardless, can you give me a sense of 72 LS5 performance as a big block - fun to drive, seat of pants torque and HP you'd expect from a BB?
the guys on OSO say 1 point of compression is worth 3% additional power. and the cams aren't very different. I bet most of the reduced power was ignition timing, and the way they rated it...

Having a tough time finding this issue......Most places I've checked order only the copies they think, might sell....So far, no luck. If anyone has a copy of this issue and would like to part with it, I'd be happy to purchase it, plus shipping. TIA
Y’all may want to check your fuel strainers if they haven’t been replaced. Mine would go past 4200 rpm under load. The strainer looked fine until the sending unit was out saw that the strainer was toast. The fuel filter was also full of trash from the strainer, and this was some of the smaller stuff.
