LOL ... Why not just a a hotcam??? LSA seems to get mixed emotions due to a loss of lowend powerband and overall HP.

Dude, Kamin. . . why did you have to post this. I did a bunch of research and now I have an itch to take my 25 out and do a GTO LS2 swap and t56.

I wanna represent the imports with the RB25, but the aluminum v8 is so so sweet. parts are cheaper-ish and easier to come by. Cams, heads and intake manifold = 570 crank hp on the ls2.

Kamin, ur a poo head!

I hear ya. For the money I've poured into this motor, I could have gotten an LS7 crate motor that runs and have $2000 to put towards a supercharger kit.

You haven't heard of the DOHC swap? It's new, I'm not surprised.

On a serious note, I'm gonna shoot you a PM with some questions in a bit.

I know the engine has one cam and uses push rods, its called a typo, more a force of habit from talkin about the rb's "cams".
