What about not comparing what the engines will do on unlimeted funds !
What about a kind of real life comparo.....like normal users, not bonified racers !
What will happen if we took a pair of GM crate engines. Since no c.i. is comparable in this section, let's get the ones that are near in HP deparment.
Then, lets give a perfomance treatment to both engines with off the shelf parts, and with a limit amount of....what, $3000.00
The contenders will be the LS376/480 HP 6.2L CrateEngine with HotCam 19244549 (480 HP @ 5750 RPM, 475 lb-ft Torque @ 4500 RPM) VS 19166393 - ZZ427/430 427CI CRATE ENGINE 480HP/490TQ (480H P@ 5800 rpm, 490TQ @ 3800 rpm)
Probably those 2 engines are in the range of most of us Street hot roders, and the $3000.00 are also in the range to be spended in a heart beat for pumping this engines a little bit more.
In this case scenario, Just engine based.....what will be the best bang for the money.....????
Al Experts please chime in
