Want to install a new motor. Can not decide on RB25DET or LS-1. Any pros and cons from people?

:facepalm: Really? Could you pick two completely different engines? Hmm, Pro = ability to get lots of power from both ... Con = $$$

LS1 is lighter than a RB25DET plus more HP available. Approx cost diff?

HP comes from $$$, so that's gonna depend first. You will have more modifications/fabrications to do with the LS1 transplant too.

What should I eat for breakfast today? Eggs or cereal? That's the kind of question this is...
There are way too many FAQ's on these swaps man >.>. If I was a Mod, I swear I'd lock threads like these -.-
I'm not one normally to flame, but I get so tired of people asking us how they should spend their money..
