I had an '07 Sol GXP with the GMPP tune on my LNF 2.0L turbo. 2 liters, 290 bhp, 340 lb/ft, and the engine was not peaky at
all
And I agree, my GXP would give my 1SS a run for it's money. Power to weight is very similar, and there's actually a fatter powerband over a larger area 'under the curve' with the GM tuned LNF. I make more torque in the LS3, but truth be told, my LNF generated usuable torque faster at low rpms. My big complaint about my Camaro SS is that my turbo LNF had better throttle response under 3K rpm; then again there's better tech in the LNF than an LS3

I can't understand why anyone would go out and buy a turbocharged 4 cyc.truck, it'll be fine for a short period, yet nolonger will it be the best selling vehicle in America.

Couple things:
-There's no law that says that at 50K "turbos loose boost". Mine didn't.
-That's a truck application, not a lighter weight car appilcation
-It's not 1980 any more; the tech is here to make durable turbo engines
