Torque! Rocket power vs LS power

[ck1984]

Yeah, it has to be the torque management. I haven't drove the early Hemi, supposedly the same as these LS. The 2011 3/4 ton long box 4x4 Dodge with the 5.7 Hemi was pretty decent. The modular Ford motors were OK but not particularly good at anything, mostly drove the early ones.

Im just looking at my PCM bin right now and i see dozens of Torque management parameters[67+10] to fidlle with. one that looks promising to change is;
D0301 is ENABLE/DISABLE Trans Abuse Tq Reduction

Can't believe this thread is still going. I am doing an Olds stroker SB just because my car is an Oldsmobile...I would put whatever engine was in my car...chevy with a chevy engine...pontiac in a pontiac...etc...etc..

Why is everyone so bent out of shape that the LS isn't perfect? Maybe it is the non VVT motors that suck for trucks? Sorry that my personal experience isn't good enough🤷‍♂️. Here is basically my motor with slightly more aggressive flat tappet for duration but less lift than my roller. Good enough for me. Oh and you are $5,500 high carb to pan for a iron head motor.

If I wanted Chevy power I'd own a SS, buy I like Oldsmobile, so my 442 is Olds powered, and loving it. Perfectly happy with my SBO wearing 50yr old steel heads, ancient HYD Cam, and fueled by a carb, even drinking pump gas making a true 455hp/450tq.
Wonder what it would make with porting, or modern alum heads??

Interested to hear the specs on this SBO.
