I literally just got off the phone with a friend of mine yesterday when he was talking about his 5.3 LS engine build and the 425 horsepower that he wants to make, and where I told him that all LS engines were race engines from the factory.

So the answer to Richard’s first question in the video description below is “All of it!” Watch the video to learn more and to see what REAL power is made with what mods and what boost and how much nitrous!
