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.


Don't know where the weight balance will end up with the V6,,, I would think it would be pretty good. If I remember correctly the Vorshlag swap had pretty good numbers when they weighed the corners with the LSx.


That said,,, LFX = Light Speed,,, LSx = Ludicrous Speed
