I just don't want it for my car.

thicker walls also give you the option to bore out more later on. if the engine is producing close to 500 hp at 6.2. . .with the right parts and a better bore and stroke could produce so much more. if you're worried that much about weight then you probably shouldn't even be looking at this car period. you will save how much in weight from a 6.2 to 7.0 ls7? I can't imagine it being more the a few lbs. which could be made up for some where else.

I want NA. but with the possibility to go FI in the future. if I ever go FI it will be to push high amounts of boost because I can't get to where I want via NA.
