Default Double standard

I appreciate and have a respect for the LS series engines and would as I have said many times before concider the LS7 for a cobra if I was to build one now.

There seams to be a double standard when it comes to the adr complience of the LS engines. When ever I hear the power being quoted there is always the tag of with a cam change and an ecu tweak.

This change would therefore make the engine illegal and as Les has stated may cause issues with insurance and registration.

To use the argument that they are ADR complient and then say ,"L76+ cam=approximately 310 kw at the wheels" is rediculously hipocritical.

So lets call a spade a spade, a "standard" LS2 or L98 is a 220KW engine at the fly wheel, or something like that.

Just like a windsor to get more power means modifications and $$$$$$$.
