Top fuel engines make more power per inch than anything on the planet and they have pushrods and two valves, and it's not like they don't invest huge dollars in ways to go faster. If a 4v would get it done, they would do it in a heartbeat. Does DOCH work great in a 4-banger, why yes it does, but who the hell wants that. For those that do, I'm sure the Honda dealership is taking trades. Don't forget to order your fart can.

You need to read the rules for a lot of the professional drag racing series. Dohc heads are prohibited, as well as turbochargers. Top fuel, no turbos and no dohc heads. Prostock, single cam in block design. And again, the fastest mod motor drag car is still faster than the fastest LSx powered drag car. The worst part is that every single fan boy forgets to realize how many oem parts are used in a mod motor build vs the LSx competition. Quit being so damn blind to the obvious, the LSx is good, very good in areas, but it's definitely not the be all-end all.

There's a running discussion elsewhere that gets into turbo-V6 vs NA-V8 and what the future holds. One of the thoughts is that V8's will get somewhat smaller displacement-wise. I could get really interested in a true flat-plane crank V8 of about the same displacement as my 4.6L . . . maybe intentionally aiming for either 283 or 289 CID (a little over 4.6L or 4.7L, respectively). But start with a 98mm bore (more on this later) and let the stroke fall ~77mm, give/take. I happen to like the X-pipe and FPC exhaust sounds, and the sound of a 4-cylinder sportbike being run up through the gears. Not that I don't like the choppiness of most crossplane crank v8's, but I'm a sports car and road course guy at heart (always have been). Had a '79 Malibu that I tinkered with almost the whole 30+ years I had it, and one of the more satisfying and fairly inexpensive mods was to fit a single oversize converter (4" inlet/4" outlet), weld up a couple of "Y's", and split it back into catback duals (technically illegal to replace one cat with two). Anyway, it ended up sounding very much like an "X", and I wouldn't have changed it afterward even if I could have and somebody else bought all the new pipe I'd need. Quote:

The spark plugs are located on the top of the head. It literally takes 20 minutes to change all 8 plugs. Spark plug install is incredibly easy compared to the side mounted plugs in the LS! Installing headers took me the same amount of time to install on a 5.0 as it did on my L99.

Cams aren't swapped on the 5.0's because they aren't needed. Why spend the coin when the stock cams can take you over 850whp with boost?

No but not much less. The point is that it makes that much hp per liter reliably with no forced induction. And as much as you, myself or anyone else wants to admit they get it done.

Wish I had the money to take you up on that call out , of course tho one of the parts of the rotating assembly would have to be non oem to get the ls7 block to 5L (should not matter tho because destrokeing the motor only hurts power ) after that a oem gm camshaft LS stage 3 and oem ls7 top end. me thinks the 505hp would probably jump to 650 -700... one sided indeed |
