From: Las Vegas - Just stop perpetuating myths please.
Not trying to bash BP as I like there motors and value. Just seems like an example of how specific modifications like the valley cover get overlooked. Really something the valley cover manufacturer should have realized. They got it right with the oil filler cap but didn't consider all the block applications which can leave some customers imperialed.
You have a real monster now. Please keep us updated with it's performance.

please. I made the valley mod after the engine was delivered. Summit should have known the valley cover does not work with LS3s. Blueprint never even got a crack at solving the problem I created.

That's awesome! As light as you got that car it must be a blast to drive. Hope the billet caps keep on working for you.
I love the LS platform. All my cars run LS except my C3........so far. I have a nice aluminum 5.3 sitting on the stand if the original 350 starts to get tired.
