Well if you do try it, I'm very interested. I've seen 2 LS swapped cars on track (a Miata and an FRS) and while they were both stupidly fast in a straight line, they both had a lot of trouble around corners. It looked like the engine seriously overpowered the chassis and the heavier front end (both used old, iron block V8s) seemed to upset the weight balance. That said, both were early test drives of the cars in question so I'm sure there was a lot of dialling in to go but I've always felt like a high output NA V6 would suit our cars better.
