[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 12698065, member: 68944"] If you like wrenching on swapping engines/parts every few hundred to thousand miles, then the 4.8-5.3's is nice. But I don't like tearing apart my motor everytime I get on it pretty hard for a few weeks. If you do then great for you. Boosted ls6's have made 600whp for long enough, so have 5.4 2v's... Not really impressive IMO but nice nonetheless, definitely not weak but nothing epic. Edit: when I say the 5.3 is nice if you don't mind tearing your engine apart often, it's because at the power levels your talking about, 600whp, it's not going to last long. Yes it's substantially more power than the safer 450-500whp I mentioned, but even at $300-700, who wants to be blowing up/installing blocks often? Lots of labor and after 2-3 of them, you're starting to add up to decent pistons/possibly rods and pistons depending if you can only find those 5.3's on the high side of that $300-700 range. Why not just build it to handle 800whp with good rods/pistons and spend the $1500~-2250~ upfront? Again I'm not here to knock 5.3's or gm motors but when you come in here all ignorant and talk shit on modulars because a handful of ohv's have made 600whp and one 5.3 made 963, I'm going to wave the bs flag. Why didn't you just quote the 608hp stock block 5.3 from your article instead of insinuate the "1000hp" one as being stock? Why did you go all warchief that these budget 5.3's whoop up sc'd modulars?
