... unless you're a roadracer like myself. The low-end torque is a great blessing to have so that you're not having to carry the RPM's through the turns. Roadracing is also the argument for staying NA. Heaksoak kills power halfway through your session.

(not that anyway here probably cares, just pointing out that I'm truly unbiased about how easy it is to FI the 5.0's and LS3's because I have absolutely no desire to do so)
