Lazer its more about having those that don't know go to a shop that's competent than just guys thinking they can go do it themselves who can't even handle a regular roller cam install as its not yesteryears stuff. Greatly upgrading the top end is required for higher revs, this that and the other thing need to be done for things to be right.....People always throw out one line things here Like go LLSR or Just Blow it etc..... when what is to be used for?

That's what really matters, and longevity doe's matter if you can only get 1/2 the life of another engine build etc down the road everything matters. Because...….. That's all I try to discourage is guys who just like this guy says...…….. I have no problem spinning it to 7500 when where's the power band? how's the rear upgraded? what about rockers and trunnions and bars, and fuel pressure, was the cam even going to make more power there with what heads and would it actually make it faster or are you way beyond the torque that moves you....

So yup no one but the real big boys IMO should go LLSR much and so I Nail CORNFLAKES...… Hope you know what I mean as talk is cheap, really building something all out not so much...….. And my, my, my; why I mention different Shops....because its not Novice....

And when I really; really have to nail so many second Quarter this is a harder platform than some...……. I wish I lived so close to some other shops here and there, But hey I have my Tuner here and he's damn good and he's not exactly cranking out lots of LLSR just mainly usual stuff blowers, turbos, cams/heads etc

LOL and I am so old and short on time I look way down the road, I have already cruised the sites over and over watching Hell cat and ZL1 prices come down etc.....LOL Cars.com owes me...……….LOL And my upgrade to GPI stiff so damn would be done if not for life right now...LOL My Camaro's a keeper never could I ever get......My money back LOL but hey its a fun time getting back and forth to work , the grocery store etc....LOL

For me being realistic is thinking of LLSR more being in a engine I would buy complete with yes a Tunnel ram etc..... as a Package with the reliefs in the custom pistons to handle the High lift....etc etc etc; And for me that's more of where the average bloke should think of it as crap does go boom! And places I shops are all over, last engine I got here for lasting well for my butt...…… http://www.sagperformance.com/High-P...e-Engines.html I used Jerry..LOL
https://www.facebook.com/sagperformanceengines They don't do facebook much and when they have some thing to sell much they usually use EBAY and sell like hot cakes, but hey after researching much I bought from them and would recommend them not just a much of high $ DIY guy myself anymore it is $$$$ and that can get tight. SO Custom engine supply Jerry has done my short block. If I could I have seen them over the years do up insano stuff online its just a case of comes and go's …… kind of like my guy Tommy https://www.facebook.com/Wongs-Perfo...-115667950915/

My answer to LLSR anyone...Not me unless I spend enough for someone else Like Tommy to maintain it and someone like Jerry to build most of it.....See now I had to go and wonder off to Friggin sites...…..

https://www.facebook.com/11566795091...1890970875916/ Made me see old video of my first TSP 235/239 cam build...LOL was .623/.639 beat those night furies...LOL
