The c8 trans delay etc resulted in the c7 zr1 & lt5 being built as a one year model to placate the hot rod masses while the c8 issues were being fixed.

I believe the l83, lt4 & 5 represent the last in line for now of semi tune able gm engines as the newer upgraded gen motors are locked down encrypted due to liability/reliability management.

Until the aftermarket cracks the new gen code if ever, we for now may have reached peak engine tune.

So here’s investing 102 advice (rip weld) stock up on lt5 front accessory drives 😀

I was going to wait to buy an LS7 for my next build, but.... with this happening I decided to pull the trigger now. Figure it can sit in the corner for a bit till it’s needed.

Anyone know the life expectancy of the LT4? Should I get mine now?

LT4 is used in in the current model Camaro ZL1 and Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, so I'd expect it to continue to be available for a few years yet. But I have no inside info

Well, there's one less LT5 available as of yesterday morning. Now I need to figure out the difference between the 19418270 and the 19370666 controller kits - both for manual transmission. Looks like nobody has the 19418270 until July (probably the global chip shortage) but I can get the 19370666 now. Anyone know the difference?

I'm sure you spotted the rebate but..... $250 is $250.

I saw that, nice rebate for a T56 after buying the LT5 crate but right now, unless I can get a GM Performance Dealer interested in price matching, I can get T56 more than $250 lower from other vendors. I was going to get the cruise and connect to get the rebate but same thing, I can do better and pick the parts I want from other vendors.

I don't think there's any rebate for just buying the LT5 is there?

Now that you're single, you can put that baby in the living room. HA
