Im not carbed YET, I have a hate hate relationship with the TPI, A 750 cfm injection is to damn expensive, From the research i have done the only advantage to a EFI is gas milage and performance on a road course. I just cant justify a extra 3500 for that
I would be giving up about 2-6mpg
to me its just not worth it,
WHY a LS over the vortec?

Sell or part. Combine those dollars with your engine money and buy a newer C4 in better shape or possibly even an early C5.

why would i want to do that? I have a unique c4 that I built, MY way, BY ME, the way i wanted. for 5 grand i can have a tire shredder,
not to mention a c5 for 8 grand is just a money pit that was some ones elses problem.

So you could actually drive instead of constantly repairing?

Im not i just want MORE POWER! GRUNT GRUNT
:roc k:
My motor runs fine, It has about 120k it uses 1.5 qts of oil between changes, runs about 40lbs psi no smoke no knocks,
still does 0-60 in 6 sec runs 14 in a 1/4
What is that saying if it aint broke, yank the engine and add power
