I can tell the difference with the extra cubes. The V6 is a slug driving around until it's gets up on some boost. It's nice having 400 plus HP on motor with the LSX.

Awesome build! If my new motor blows up, I'm going this route! Maybe I missed it but, what trans are you running? Thanks for all the info.

While I am sure stomping ricers and kids in clapped out Mustangs on Woodward with you high $$ TT LSX build is quite enjoyable in a juvenile sort of way, how do you think it would hang with twin 70's on a TA alum S2 Buick V6?
Feel free to bring that thing to Youngstown anytime, I have a nice safe stretch on the street and several tracks close by take your pick.

Hahaha. Bring that high dollar time bomb up to Woodward next week. I'll embarrass you in front of the whole Buick crowd. If you want a piece of me bring your car up here on the street, I'm not going to waste my time coming to you as I have nothing to prove.

I am still not sure why people that don't like V8 regals bother coming in this section.

John,
I never once said anything bad about Dave's build or even Dave himself. I think Daves LSx build is pretty cool well thought out and the only thing I would do different is probably start w a regular gbody instead of a GN but I even understand why Dave used his GN since he already owned it.
What I do have issue with is these guys who make the swap and then take every chance they can to talk about smack on how the Buick V6 is junk breaks easily cost so much and how much better thier stuff is now that they have an LSx motor. I would like someone to actually prove this point??? This is a Buick board is it not? Is this not a fair question for a Buick board???
Dave makes personal attacks derogatory comments on my car breaks forum policy and u as a moderator come on here and post about how I should mind my own business, seriously??????
