Pretty damn easily. Heads, cam, exhaust, CAI and edit. Idles very well, pulls 6th gear from 50km/h on the flat, and still gets 9l/100km freeway cruising. People bag the LS1 but it's a very easy engine to get big power out of. Look at Street Tuners 7psi single turbo kit, getting 355rwkw on a stock LS1. And the LS2 is much better. I'd love to see how well an XR8 would go with the LS2 rather than the breathless 5.4

Somehow chevy v8 small blocks defy all laws of common sense. Pushrods and two valves per cylinder for example. But I am loathed to admit for a 40-50 yo engine, it mods up rather well and puts some turbos to shame in modability just because half the chevy gene pool has them.

I'm no Expensive Daewoo or GM fanboy, and despite the ridiculing the LS1 gets from some people for the dinosoaur tech, it is an amazing engine in some ways. Fabulous fuel economy when touring and not too bad in the city (no worse than my falcon), the engines all alloy and so quite light, the power that can be picked up from simple mods is bordering on magical, sort of like a turbo. Heck I picked up 35rwkW from an exhaust, more than some cars make in total rw power.

GM certainly delivered an engine that is cheap, but can make serious numbers. At the end of the day it's the result that counts.

Considering the money it's going to cost you for the Brakes, Bodykit, Etc you would be much better off buying a Typhoon, can run bigger power on stock Engine and Manual or Auto seems to handle the power, but the new Auto is yet to be seriously tested after mods.

And you get the bonus of having a real F6 Typhoon instead of a XR6T dressed up, big brakes avalible from the factory and there fast enough stock to beat the best standard HSV they can throw at it

Your pulling yourself....

Now don't buy a ford until you get some therapy and learn to stop talking crap....
