Is there any performance diff in the 5.3 LMG vs LY5
There are 2 5.3L choices when specing a 2008 Chevy Silverado RC. Is there a downside to the one that runs ethanol?
Engine,
Vortec 5.3L V8 SFI FlexFuel, with Active Fuel Management, capable of running on unleaded or up to 85% ethanol, (315 hp [234.9 kW] @ 5200 rpm, 338 lb-ft of torque [456.3 N-m] @ 4400 rpm), iron block (LMG)

I am toying with the idea of selling my CTS-V and getting a RC and pumping it up to 420 or so RWHP. Supercharged of course.
