This idea isn't that bad all in all, but perhaps considering GM stuffs more rugged and specialized components into, specifically, LSA and LSA (like a mostly forged bottom end in LSA and a totally forged LS9, lower compression, heat treated and rotocast heads, additional multi-layer head gaskets, bigger head bolts in LS9, piston squirters, dual mode fuel systems, etc.) tells me that if you want the engine to last reliabily to 100K miles, these are the issues to address, among many others I'm sure I know nothing about. GM invests all that $$$ for a reason. I would just ask for people to perhaps keep that in mind when statements like this are made. An LS3 is not made for long-term FI; it'll take if for a long time I'm sure, but not like an engineered FI engine - LSA and LS9

Eek! I think a $60K Camaro would sell pretty poorly, but something is better than nothing. Just because there's no way I could afford that doesn't mean that others shouldn't have the opportunity
