Yea it might be easier to mod, but i still believe the Titan VK-56 is far superior to the everyday normal 350cu in. chevy motor, with the same mods as the chevy guys have thier is absolutley no reason why the VK-56 shouldnt be able to get low 12's on just bolt-ons and cams/heads/tranny upgrades

Hell i'm hanging with the chevy guys with more mods than me just n/a

Yeah, I don't know how it compares to the Chevy guys at all. But I am planning (and most likely will) run a 13.5-13.6 with Headers, catback, intake, LSD, custom tune, TB, and DR's this Winter

Showing how much you know. The 5.7 LSx isn't a 350, its a 346ci engine. $ for $, I'll put my $$$ on the 5.7 LSx engine.

Reread what i wrote i never said anything bout a lsx block, go re-read my thread, your getting just as bad as michael so quick to bash anything i write.

Here is a link to common sizes from GM motors and the LSX block don't come in nothing close to 346 cu in that is the ls1 motor which i know the titan motor can hang with, i've raced many camaros with this motor and it's similiar in power to the titan motor, Raced a few trucks with the bigger 6.0L LS2 motor as well and those are definatly making more power than us but the titan can still hang with one with minimal mods since our drivetrain loss is much lower than the GM crowds as well as better gearing ratios in the transmission.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_LS_engine

Here's some info on the LSX motor:
LSX
At the 2006 SEMA show, GM Performance Parts introduced the LSX engine, an all-new cast-iron racing block based on the LS7 engine. It was designed with help from drag racing legend Warren Johnson. It offers displacements ranging from 364 cubic inches to 511 cubic inches (4.25" Bore x 4.5" Stroke) and is capable of withstanding 2,500 bhp (1,864 kW; 2,535 PS). This block incorporates two extra rows of head-bolt holes per bank for increased clamping capacity. The six bolt steel main caps are the same ones used on the LS7 engine. The engine debuted at the auto show in a customized 1969 Camaro owned by Reggie Jackson. The LSX will be available starting the second quarter of 2007, set to be available in authorized dealerships and retailers on March 31, 2007.[7]

Just fyi...When people say LSx they mean LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6,LS7, LS9, LSA. When people say LSX it means the LSX engine.

No, I'm not bashing, I'm enlighting you. LSX means from 346ci on up. If you want to race my ride, feel free, but I'm not bringing the Titan. I'll just tell you your Titan, as 'fast' as it might be for a titan, hasn't got a snow ball's chance in hell in keeping up.

Now, if you to need to look up wiki to make your point(btw, I wouldn't use wiki at any real paper at any real school). You just pointed out what I said above. I'll just pick up my gmhp mag, its a bit more accurate.
