Hot Rod mag "Old school LS"

[Damn True]

Anyone see this article?

If not I'll summarize. They stabbed a Comp 275 cam into an LS, topped it with a Edelbrock carb manifold, and ran the spark with an Edelebrock and MSD ignition controller.

I'd like to find out what those of you experienced with the LS motors think about this setup.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me. You get:

1. The light weight of an LS
2. The setback
3. Extremely precicse spark control
4. Simplicity of a carb
5. Far less expensive install

My only concern is that you might lose some of the driveability, and the ease of startup associated with EFI. From your experience are those features provided by the fuel management, or the precicse spark control?
