February 8, 20187 yr BTW, that was a planned run-on sentence, and not too superbly executed either. The grammar ninja inside of me is totally disgusted at this point, so I must turn in for the night.

February 8, 20187 yr I'm so done with this cold and snow. I'm also extremely tired of these idiots that can't drive for shit.
February 8, 20187 yr Uuungh Why is it that in my 30s, I can have a hang over, without getting drunk. Holy shit. I didn't even tie one on someone else. I'm not terrible, but I sure don't feel good.
February 8, 20187 yr 10 hours ago, Tirefryr said: This is a blanket statement though. It's application dependent. We can't just say T4 or T5 or T6, or anything for that matter. We don't have any information on turbine or compressor mapping, cam specs, mounting, etc. We can all do dyno tests and make the results read any way we want. I'm going to assume here that you've seen some where they did basically a swap of a kit from a 4.8 to 5.3 and did pulls on each. All that indicates is the turbine and compressor are not proper for the application (5.3), or was best suited for the 4.8 application. Blanket was meant for cost effective, ie used or reasonable (chinese) builds. The 5.3 or bigger really needs a T6 and gets out of the efficiency curve of the turbine where the 4.8 can use a single large T4 and build power right in the efficiency window really easily. Obviously if you have big targets displacement is king, but for 700hp crank builds it is much cheaper to build a 4.8 than the other motors. They also take a beating better. I am ONLY referring to LS motors from scrap yards as building blocks. Being Mike was doing a swap that is what led me there. So yes, blanket indeed but for a specific application.

February 8, 20187 yr 10 hours ago, Tirefryr said: Honestly, I think they were overpriced for what they were. $10K cheaper and they'd have sold like hot cakes. Just my opinion. Think of it as the blue collar CTS-V. They're ugly, but the performance can not be denied. Of course when you look at it that way, it makes you wonder how Lincoln sells any of their "dressed up" Fords. It must be all Matthew McConaughey. Yes, that's it. Yep, $48k for that is wrong. Had they dressed up the outside a bit more and put in a nicer interior then $48 could be okay. Hell if they did that I would own one. Sad that the Holden version looks so much better...and even worse, comes with the LSA.

February 8, 20187 yr 11 hours ago, mikel7829 said: Whats the deal with the 4.8? Whats the price range and what can they be found in? And is there alot available for it for performance at a decent price? It is the el cheapo HP option for GM and the junk yard guys. No one wants them used so they go super cheap and mate with cheap used turbos to make a ton of power for nearly no money. Plenty of cheap manifolds as well to do your own "kit" but if you haven't done one already don't expect the process to be easy. As a plane naturally aspirated engine there is no way I woudl get one.

What all did they come out in? And whats the best years? I seen some online in s10's..most with my body style blazer do the 5.3 or 6.0 its looking like...But I hear that the 5.7 is pretty simple
