I love my SC but really ...... there is no reason to lie to yourself about the LNF's performance .....unless your jealous, or just plain pissed they came out with something better.

for less than a 1/4 of the cost of a ss/t you can convert your ss/sc to the same thing.

all of the suspension swaps over, axles, and other things. if you're really into it that much, i know of way to stick an lnf in it.

as of right now. the lnf is far more limited than the lsj.

Yep, and that will soon change as we all know. Just like the LSJ was limited for a while... I remember eagerly awaiting the stage 2... lol

You can backport ALL the tc upgrades for less than 25% of 21 800 (Canadian price I paid)? How?
Im assuming you mean just an engine swap? That wouldn't cut it for me. Do you have a TVS balt ?

Lets see an LSJ get those numbers from just a tune. I know you're a big time advocate of the LSJ and its a great motor, but this is amazing news to us that have moved to the LNF. I remember when the LSJ was brand new, people took shots at it's potential as well, but the people that understood it like you were very patient with it, saying "Give it some time".
Lets not forget that with the LNF.

the lnf is being held back. pure and simple. i know what the lnf is capable of, however the injection system is the factor that is holding it back right now. until that point gets worked around, the lsj will remain king in terms of being able to make power.

It is the red one just like yours. It is an 08 the lady I talked to in the first place had no idea what she was talkin about. They gave me a hell of a deal.

Can you get that much of a gain out of an LSJ with just a simple tune? Yes, or No?

Answer: No. So given that, I would give the kind of easy power to the LNF. How many mods and how much money would it take to get an LSJ to 320wTQ?

The direct injection has come a long way since the old VW days. It's nothing that can't be worked with...Look at what porsche has done with this technology.

Usually old means past tense, They don't produce them anymore while they still do make the SS/TC's so thats what I am referring to about old vs new. Put a lambo engine in a 08-09 SS and it also isn't slow anymore.

I don't have any cliffs around here, maybe you can guide me to a proper cliff.

I love how people jump on the new/better versions of their own cars when their car isn't the fastest anymore.

do you know the limit of the fuel injectors in the lnf?

no?

i do

why is it, it is taking the lnf cars 22+ psi and still not breaking 400whp?

i never said it wasn't easy to get power out of the lnf cars. i did however say for right now the lnf will fall short on absolute power being produced because of it's injection system.

cereal.
stock sucks. i'll continue to play with vettes. you continue magazine racing.
