What if its supercharged and intercooled, or if he’s using nitrous injection? 😛

I completely agree, I’m not a big fan of running a 4 cylinder to shit, but for a light power upgrade a small turbo 4 banger can’t be beat (Volvo T3 KA-T in my plan), it has good response, efficiency, and a pretty wide powerband. Nothing like that of the LS1 though. People brag how they can beat a V8 with their 4 banger turbo, but then if you turbo’d the V8. lollll

I was wondering, how is regular maintenance on an LS1 inside a 240’s engine bay? Is it like working on a VG30? lol

Btw, I remember having a long conversation about V8’s and you were telling me about chassis twisting from torque at Bing’s meet. I’m that brown guy who hadn’t shaved in ages. lol
