GM performance crate engines shootout

[79TA]

I remember reading this article when it came out. I'd say it really highlighted the importance of weight savings up front too. The biggest problem with the LS7 is that it's downright tame, boring, and way too livable at idle, especially with butterfly valves shut . . . luckily that can be fixed with a nice camshaft if you don't mind making 100+ more horsepower.
