> [@plaf713](#): > > its all an lsx because all parts a interchangle, the block is the came, it just has a different bore. If i bored out a small block i wouldnt call it something else other than a small block. If i put bigger turbos on a vr4, its still a twin turbo. Its all just lingo Bolt-on turbos and replacing a crank is a bit different. So, you can replace ANYTHING internal to the block and it still maintains the engine code? :confused ---

ok to clear some things up…my car is a TPI 350, i ran 12’s on my $50 street tires, 125 shot, cut a 1.9 60’, has a cam, pistions, roller rockers, rods, ported and polished, 3200 stall, shift kit and 3.73 gears right now… my L98 \> the SS in the 1/4… 1/4 mile times are showing what’s really faster right now and the 13.6 that the SS went isn’t touching the 12.7 that my car ran. With sticky tires or DRs whatever you want to say…will help your ET not your trap, if anything your trap will go down. I will be back at the track with a 150 hit, slicks, and a 3500 stall… 11’s for you LS1’ers to chase. :haha ---

The series of the motor does not change when it is built. Since the LS1’s name is not based on displacement or whatever, IMO it will always be an LS1 and have MAD low end torque ---
