Torque! Rocket power vs LS power

[87National]

I seen plenty of threads including this one on this and other car forums where LS guys bad mouth anything that isn't LS and insult guys who remain with classic hardware. Also seen plenty of LS guys making false claims against classic engines, carburetors, etc. I have been personally insulted more than once by LS guys for staying SBC. Also seen plenty of SBC threads where LS guys barge in and state "just LS swap it." Its so common that there are even memes about it.

Specifically which gbforum member? I haven't seen it and I'm on here almost every day.

So what I'm pulling out of this is that the ls fanboys are basically the jarjar binks crowd?.?.

Mans completely roasted the entire LS community in one comparison chill 😭😭😭😭😭🤦‍

The truth is there are heroes and villains on both sides of the argument.

Exactly. Theres no 100% right side.

But canned tunes are sub par. Expecting some mail away guy who has not personally seen your car let alone having familiarity with your random combination of parts to hit the nail on the head is siliy.

Honestly, I haven't seen any of this LS supremacy attitude either.

But canned tunes are sub par. Expecting some mail away guy who has not personally seen your car let alone having familiarity with your random combination of parts to hit the nail on the head is siliy. Even canned tunes stil, require a $400 hand held programer. Both good carb and EFI tuning requires to physically tune the engine in person. For old carbed engines this ability is essentially free, for an EFI motor its going to be a few hundred or much more.

To be blunt about it, ya gotta get more up to speed with the tech! I can absolutely vouch for mail tunes as motorheadmike tuned my Cutlass LS swap from 600+ miles away!
Yes I bought HP Tuners, but that was so I can learn myself and also check CEL's on other cars!
I gave Mike all of my parameters for building the tune which happen to be similar to his badazz wagon, and he damn near hit the nail on the head 1st shot out! My AFR's stay steady between .98-1.03 (that's 14.7 for ye peasants). Other than a couple odd things from a fresh engine swap, he was spot on! I was just out ripping around in the car earlier and it's impressive the power curve the car has, and cruise drive ability with a healthy cam (.613/.590 lift) and a 3400ish rpm lockup converter and 3:73's.
