money is not an issue, but my conscious knowledge of pricing differences makes me puke. why is it that the same amount and type of material is 70% more for a mopar? cuz morons like yourself will spend it by the truck load. i didnt choose the lsx based off of cost alone. i chose it, cuz i know im going to blow the motor up. now going into just that. why would i spend 25k on a hemi that i know im going to blow up? when i can spend 7k on an lsx and blow it up 3 times and still not touch the single hemi's cost. i would have done a new gen hemi, but there is no aftermarket head with thick deck surfaces to handle the abuse of such high cylinder pressures. when they come out im sure ill be switching back over to mopar, but only if im not having fun with the lsx engine. my options for racing sanctioning bodys also opens up greatly as the hemi is not allow in many classes but the top of the top classes i dont want to run.
