I saw an LS1 being built for a local crop duster here in my area. Never saw the plane though, just the engine. I wonder what the tuning is like?

I read that a bit and collectively, they dont seem to have a lot of faith in the ability of the LS to turn high rpms reliably. I am no aerobatics pilot, but I have a few hundred hours at the controls of a Cesna, 110hp inverted 4cyl carbed engines. I would have full faith in an LS powered plane.
