If you want to keep your warranty, stick with the GM stage kits, and do not mod your car.

If you want to make power, them you go to OTTP or TTR and your order real car parts and risk your warranty.

I have never had a warranty issue with my Trifecta tune. I have been in a few times since the tune. No questions asked. Plus Trifecta is HALF the price as stage 1

Okay so I read the first page, and didn't feel like reading the other 3. It is what it is. He won. There is no woulda-coulda-shoulda. He is right, many LNF guys are extremely cocky and look down on the LSJ guys, which shouldn't be done. This was happening back in the day when the 08s first came out.

Good kill Ebris. I'm showing this video to my Redline buddy to give him a boost. As he is feeling kind of down about his ride.

Good point. I have been following your 252s thread. Pretty cool!

I'm with Area, man up or shut up.

And yet I doubt anyone on this forum would be willing to "man up" and take the time to organize, fund, and manage a multitude of events to "prove" which motor is superior.

True story.

It would be sweet if someone did, but never

We can see that 250wtq on the LSJ is 100x better then 250ishwtq on a stock LNF.

And we can see that 320-330wtq on an LNF is just a little better then 250wtq on an LSJ.

If we did not have enough evidence before, now I think we can safely say that the big TQ numbers being put out by the LNF guys does not mean crap as compared to the LSJ guys.

I think TC owners need to finally accept that...
You could have wrapped all this up by just saying "Powerband"...

And that is not what this thread is about.

As much as I kid around about LSJ > LNF...they are both great engines.

I agree, that wasn't pointed at anyone directly...Just the idea that it's moot point of an argument that we are all so quick to hang up on.

Good runs, your car moves out!

Good point. But some people don't know what that means. So I have to explain it with examples so they can understand.

Two cars

Roughly the same weight

Roughly the same peak numbers, one with more under the curve, and a 6.15%(roughly) shorter final drive....why is everyone so shocked the LSJ won?

Seriously...nice kill ebristol...the faster it would have gone the messier it would have gotten too.
