Here is my thoughts with the LS series of engines. They (all LS engines) already get great fuel mileage for what they are. Please correct me if im wrong but generally speaking doesnt direct injection improve mpg's and power? From my experience the LS engines also like a small bump in compression, (1 maybe 2 tenths) which also improves power and MPG's correct? I dont think they need to leave the line of small block LS series engines just yet as i think they will have an upper hand in the maket if they could find a way to do the things i have stated and be able to keep the engines up to their testing standards. Upper hand meaning overall power and fuel economy. Just my .02. Please add your thoughts!!!
