LS Engine learning curve is steep!

[Protour_Pinto]

I have not paid too much attention to the newer platform of engines the past 25 years, Boy, What a mistake!!

I have decided to go with LS power in my latest project and I feel like I need a decoder ring for the LS family of engines from 99 to present.

So many options and combinations to process to make sure I only have to do it once, maybe twice to get a good combination of parts.

I am not looking for ground stomping power since its going to be a daily driver.

So now to figure out the alphabet part.

Im leaning to an early 6L from a truck since I can find a driver for not too much more than a pull out. I will keep the truck intake and make some headers etc.



I know I dont want VVT or any of that that goes with it, Drive by wire would fix my throttle routing problem. I have seen a lot of companys that will strip a harness and flash the stock computer but am looking at aftermarket like the Holley systems too. The engine is going to be pretty much stock for now and being hooked to a TH425 I dont need any Trans harness. Is there any cons with going with the stock other than having to be flashed everytime you make a change? There has to be someone in L.A. capable of doing that when needed.

The digging continues.
