Is the new LT1 going to impact your LSX plans?

Bird in the hand (LSx) vs. bird in the bush (Gen 5 LT1).

I suspect you're looking at a 2 year plus delay as the engines get into wrecking yards (or the GMPP catalog) and the after market suppliers figure out what's need to make them work in our cars.

why your at it lets talk about the future release of the lt2, lt7, and lt9. lol

Funny, but probably true.

The harsh reality for me is I will probably never use my car to its full potential. The LS3 I am building is overkill, the suspension and brakes are overkill, etc. When my driving skills/needs eclipse the car, I will upgrade. I learned this lesson from wake boarding. New boards come out every year, and each year I upgraded thinking a new shape would make me a better rider. finally, I stuck with the same board for several years and worked on fundamentals and finally began improving.

Only 450 HP? Use an LS3. It will be way cheaper.
