Yet you were using factory Modular engines from the 03/04 Cobra, 00 Cobra R and the GT 500 for a comparison.

The cold hard fact is that if you are building a RACE ENGINE the lsx isn't currently the best platform.
Umm not sure if you know, alot of the race engines people use today in their F-Body's and Corvettes, etc are LSx based

I dont know about you but an engine that comes factory with 15* heads that has the ability in stock form to make 380 hp at the crank is a good start.
