really? i mean really?

Dont start this shit again, both are great engines, i just dont understand how one can be better than the other, does one make more power than the other, or does one just have bigger turbos than the other? Its all relative.

+1…

not sure if he actually watched the videos but the guy paid 2500$ for the motor…and he said with the twin turbos it put down over 800rwhp…

I dunno. something about the Rb26 that tingles a bit more than that to me. I can understand the concept though… moderate power is fairly easy and cost effective on an LS1 vs the RB
