I have been told that the 454 can easiy produce 700hp and still be a joy to drive on the street. What are your thoughts and recommendations for a Ls builder who has experiance with autocross/road race, seems most serious builders concentrate on drag.
I haven't been around the course as much as many of you but wouldn't the vehicle weight distribution be worse with a big block when thinking of Autocross?
