Performance Engine Comparisons
Thought it would be interesting to put a list of high performance setups together for the LSx engine.
Below I have built a table of various motors. I think its important to keep it high level, and somewhat accurate. Again, what I have listed in some cases is a best guess. Let me know if prices, power output etc are too far off or any other type of combos should be listed.
Obviously it would be too involved to put together a list bolt on setups like air intakes etc. so I avoided that.
Its assumed that most if not all the motors are built bottom ends in most cases. And also Heads and cam.

Re: Performance Engine Comparisons (kewlbrz)
The ATI blower is cheaper and makes MORE power than the Magnuson. Why do people go the Magnuson route? Not bashing them, just wondering why they didn't go with the one that makes more power and cheaper. :D

Some of it has to do with the fact that LPE is doing the install ...
