I've no brand loyalty either. I think that when building custom cars with the goal of improving performance, every option should be considered. While it may seem that "its just another Lsx engine under the hood," the truth of the matter is that when you go to local shows, there are very few, if any, LSx conversions. The whole LSx conversion trend is still very much in the early adapter stage if you were to consider it from the perspective of a product life cycle. While certainly not the "bleeding" edge, it is far from common.



The shaker is definitely staying. The induction setup will largely depend on the kind of engine I choose. It is all tied in with the electronics that must be used, 24 tooth or 58 tooth, blah..blah...blah...I will cover all that in great detail when the time comes. The coils are staying on the valve covers. This is about functionality, not looks. To me the LSx engine are not ugly at all. I think they have a very purposeful appearance. Some of you might not be fully understanding the goals of the upgrade and don't know me very well. I am not a car show guy. When I go, I don't open the hood. My attention span at car shows is about a nano second. This is about making the car more drivable, enjoyable, and as dependable as a new car.
