I'm torn between the LS and S54, I love the S54 and LS both. One is simpler, more reliable and lighter with a better transmission for cruising and tq that'll toss you in the seat plus dirt cheap mods, the other has that never ending power band and 7.8k redline stock, less tq but the pull for such a deep redline makes it a rocketship, it also sounds more correct for a bimmer... ugh. Can't really loose either way though haha-Christian

I will still personally go with the S54 in the future though-Brad, AlphaTeam Motorwerks, LLC

Hahah I'm watching vanos rebuild videos instead of homework and thinking about how many little balls, springs, and plungers that are in that timing unit compared to the chev, the LS has a chain without a freakin tensioner! Its so simple lol
edit: The s54 has an oil pump for your oil pump! hahahahaha-Christian

It's still a brick you are shoving through the air. All that bodywork offers little "real" improvement in speed/lap times. If you look at those who are serious about Time Attack/hill climbs/open race series..etc. you'll see the rear wing design is much different.
Don't want to get in to a big aero discussion, which has been beaten to death in the track section and other sites..
