Anyone here going to put a LSX 376/454 in?
Just wondering if it was on the radar for anyone else here?

What Type of HP you plan on getting out of it.
How easy is the Programing to update. I was just planing on SuperCharging the L99 as soon as a kit is aviable. I curently am using HP tuner on my curent BowTie. It is a 5.3 W/Magnuson FI on it. The supercharger came witha tune and I am now Just refining it. Long tube headers free flow cats and Wide band sensor. The rest is time playing with the software. |

500/500; I am getting close to that out of my 5.3 w/6lbs of boost (intercooled) and a tweeked tune with some additonal power mods.
The bad on my ride is I loose close to 50% at rear wheel. Not sure on what to expect out of the 6.2 but should be 30%-40% over stock intercooled. Why a Carb? FI is so much more efficent and tune'able. Good book: Engine Managment advanced tuning, By Greg Banish. I did not know a thing about full injection till I got my 88Jeep. always loved my big double pumpers. My $0.02 HighTech RedNeck |

There was a story on here somewhere that some automotive engineers were reevaluating the carb. I don't know the outcome of that research, but it might be possible to make a powerful carb. Conventional wisdom would suggest that a fuel-injected engine would give you more of what you want in terms of power and efficiency, though.
