I think the 4.6 modular V-8 is an AMAZING engine, I just towed a 2 axel Uhaul trailer with a F150 that had 270K on the clock with a 4.6 recently and it pulled like a Champ and ran amazingly
I think the LSX Realy has lost alot of its reliablity and build quality marks since the LT1 had finished its run, As I already mentioned, I've seen LT1 Caprice's run 13's with minor bolt-ons and PosiTrack, while there are no sedans to compare this 2, the LS1 Vetts and Camaros run about the same time from the factory, but they aren't 2 and a half ton sedans

ive seen a stock formula go 12.9.
fastest lt1 ive ever seen is 13.9 stock.

"with minor bolt ons...."
and a 1 second diffrence is very small considering how long the basic design of the LT1 has been around for.

very small? 1 second is HUGE.
thats typically on a slower car. 100hp..
100hp is ALOT. granted we know theres not a 100hp difference, but rule of thumb is 10hp is one tenth.
The LT1 design differs quite a bit from your gen1 small block so the argument of it having been around forever is really an invalid one.
Really I was just comparing reliability, the Design of the LS1 compared to the LT1 is Drastically diffrent to my understanding...
and keep in mind, these are really factory freaks he is reffering to with the 12.9 and 13.9
Here's an LT1 Vette
1992 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 5.7 14.1
Here's an LS1 Vette
1997 Chevrolet Corvette 13.3
so .8, and the chassis have been changed, suspension has been changed, its not all about raw power.

Yes, Fantastic reliability, they don't use just any old car with any old engine for use with Police cars...
Also, when engines are produced in HUGE quantities, there are usually more quality issues, and over all the LT1 has proven to be a fantastic work-horse.
and many many people with LS1 cars drive like Jackholes, considering they only come in Camaros/Firebirds and Vettes....
