If the power is there, a lot of people will opt for those instead of the larger displacement versions just to get away from AFM/DOD. Just my opinion.
Could very well be....It seems the AFM engines are somewhat limited, or more problematic when it comes to aftermarket super-charging or turbo-charging with the different valve/rockers, whatever compared to the LS3...(Nothing but love for L99ers...lol...just from what I've seen around here...LS3 "conversions" prior to forced induction)...

Perhaps the 5.0-5.7 engine (LT-4??) may fill that void and satisfy more aftermarket applications...A second V-8 engine option of any kind would be totally awesome, imo...
