LS7 would score well on all those points except cost.

Super charge an LS-2.

To average all those factors an LS motor is probably best, IMO.

Jim, steaks at SEMA?

For me a quality LS built motor will add resale. I would be more comfortable buying a car with a good LS motor in it. Just something to kick around and put on the list - Resale/Value.

Thanks to all who answered.

How would you configure the LS-2?

Can you make 650-700 hp without a blower, and still remain durable?

If not,

High high can you safely build one?

What size would you build?

Thanks again for you answers and comments.

I would say yes. There are already 600rwhp NA C6 Z06 cars running on 91 octane gas. The only rub is that they have 427 ci of LSx power with hot cams, new rods/pistons, and massaged heads/intake.
