Not sure what all the sbc hate is about. I been beating on the same pump gas iron headed sbc for 5 years. Never been on a dyno but e.t. to weight says it makes just under 700 rwhp on a 200 shot. Seen more bottles then most kids do growing up and hurt alot of turbo/boosted LS powered cars feelings at the same time. Got less in my entire build then you can get a decent turbo kit for.

I'll be the first to admit the LS is an impressive platform, but don't count out a well thought out and put together sbc or BBC. Bang for your buck you will never compete with either once you get past 700ish hp in my experience. Atleast not and have it survive any length of time.
