That is what I am thinking...............considering most of us are going to go with a new drive system, headers and other things, why pay big bucks for a LS2 when half of it will come off........

You can take a LQ4/9 and bolt a FAST intake/Throttle body and a few other things and get the thing to 450+HP for what a stock LS2 will run you......

Judging by the prices on eBay......they charge less for a 4L60/80E if it's attached to a LQ then if it's attached to a LS2............

Car Craft andn GM High Performance (magazines) have some really good tech articles on their sites.

One had a LQ4 with a intake carb set up that was somewhere around 450hp for a build total of $3700.......
