Keep up the good work.
Yes sir, for me VVT is a no brainier. I understand the tech, and its got mad potential. I will drive this car a lot. That's really why I'm going the LS fuel injection route. Fuel economy, and reliability. I have gobs of high end SBC parts in the shop that I could have put together and had a 427 small block that would have gotten at least 5 mpg's. lol!
I hear you loud and clear on the iron block. I can live with it for now. The VVT doesn't know, or care what the stroke is.
