But the LS2 and LS4 were performance engines. The LS4 5.3L came after the LS2 6.0L. Take the LS4, which had DOD, and give it DI/VVT and you may be able to get more HP and greater MPG without having to use DOD/AFM. Those same people buying GXPs, Impala SSs and Monte Carlos SSs back in the mid 2000s would probably buy something with those characteristics again.
