Very nice motor, I would keep it and put it in a GN. I would bet you could get that one allowed in TSO

To me; once you have a v8 you are just like every other hot rod out there with 8 spark plugs... All that is different is the name tag...
When you roll up and do things with a 6 cyl 1987 REGAL that a lot of new vettes and such can't do in 1/4 mile, it just makes you feel soooooo good
The next ride im building is an Turbo LSx powered Malibu and ill be perfectly content with not knowing any better. Thats all I have left to say..

A local LSX guy has a brand new assembled LS shortblock, Probe pistons, eagle rods. 1000hp capable for $3500 for sale if your interested. According to some on here you can do this as cheap and reliable with a V6 but I sorta doubt it.
I would love to see a build price sheet for a 1000hp Stage II next to a 1000Hp ls.

Well said.
I still feel with a 88mm and smaller turbo you will make more power with a Buick V6 than a LSx motor. Properly built and tuned longevity shouldn't be an issue and I still don't see how the price is all that much cheaper.
I understand about cutting up Turbo cars and all that and agree 100% but please don't tell me you really think that you can give up 100 + cubic inches, 2 pistons, 2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves and make more power? I thought you you way smarter than that. That LSX wil make more power at 13 PSI than the V6 will at 23PSI. If we took a 454CID LSX motor with some all pro heads, that setup has made 2300+ with a big turbo. I we were to put an 88 on that we will run out of turbo for sure but do you really think your V6 will make more power?

This could be interesting... maybe turbo buick should let ls1tech know they want to have a 1000hp budget build shoot out and come up with different test to compare the two different engines made with donations from board members! I think it would be pretty cool.
I've seen comparable steel crank 109 short blocks "used' for sale here in that price range. Show me a vendor who is building them for that and we'll talk. Not my uncle's cousins brother knew a guy selling it cheap
I have 2.0 ecotech 4 cylinder 1600HP capable. Come on Dusty. Read what you wrote. Everything is capable. Just look threw racing junk.

There is a point here where one engine is the better choice over the other for the $$$$. None of us can help it if the owner doesn't extract the capability out of either motor. V6 or V8.
