**600hp sbm block limit? Or is it bs!!**

Forget that you missed the quote and answer to the quote and totally missed the design... pay attention to the design and see the ls , other than the viper head having 5 chambers and the ls having 4, notice the copying of the design with such slight changes as to not be a exact same head minus a chamber
The viper heads design benefited gm.... is what you missed. Whereas as usual mopar dropped the ball, gm doesn't.
Instead of the W tech making it to production with the vipers heads, it gets lost for anything else... Typical mopar screw ups, they should have scrapped the 4.7 and kept the V-10 design scaled it back to 8 and 6 and continued with that.

The hemis are fine as for the heads, problem is the fat they're dragging around and the tuning.

I said it is the same old mopar issues, they worry about 1 thing.

W-2 are there, theyre called 5,7,8,9 now, other than the R9 the others are all W-2 base design
I see n/a W motors in the 8's, thats more than 700hp

I didn't miss what you said at all...There is no hard proof that GM copied the viper head, no matter how close they are in design...Whenever I see people say, "so and so copied so and so" it makes me laugh- there is no blatant admitance of it, so we will never really know.

I agree Chrysler tosses good tech and never develops on it, and that it is the same old crap with them....I actually couldn't agree with you more there...

As for the lardy LX platform vehicles, yes they are boats, but some are really MOVING...Not to mention, you see ALOT more GM guys swapping LS motors into the early muscle cars or race cars, but not alot of Mopar guys doing the same with the 3G hemi's...why? I think some of it can be attributed to more development on the LS motors and motor swaps, but also (strictly imo) the stinginess and narrow mindedness of many mopar guys and wanting to stick with what they have...and the price of the hemi core motors because of the stupid name don't help either....

As for the W2 heads, I was talking strictly W2...I know the other ones have killer potential and are running some of the fastest cars out there...but you cannot say that a W9 is a W2...they aren't the same

All I was really getting at, not to get off topic, is how awesome LS motors are (die hard mopar guys will say they suck just because it isn't a mopar), but also the Hemi's...they just haven't been tapped into yet as much as they could...anyways, I will stop since this thread is about stock block LA's and the power they can take
