Just remember you're blessed with a choked off intake manifold, choked off intake port size on the head, a crappy rod ratio, and a 9.2:1 compression ratio, not to mention shitty gearing. Through all of this I take pride in my LS. As long as it starts up in the morning and gets me where I need to go, what the hell do I care. I'll start modding for speed when they up the speed limit by 50mph. Having a quick 1/4 doesn't make me more of a man.
