lsa is $11,199
http://paceperformance.com/i-6255521...te-engine.html trinity 5.8 ~25-26k I have heard but there is not good source yet. the last gen 5.4 was $22-23k if I remeber right. 5.8 has forged pistons put PM forged rods 2.3L eaton@15psi. LSA has hypereutectic pistons and PM forged rods 1.9L eaton@8.5psi. When I was looking at the GT500 one of the things tha gave me pause was the way the block is manufactured. it is punched way out and the cyliner wall have a special process perfomed on them. Sounded like an issue with the block would require a new one. I have had mustangs before and you can make great power but they cost more $$$ for hp if you have an issue with the motor.

Rewind 6 months and all we were hearing about is how the LSA wasn’t forged and the 5.8 was.

Like Mr. Wyndham has been saying - just because the slugs aren't forged, that doesn't mean they aren't strong. In addition - oil squirters help keep the temperatures under control, too. I've thought LSA would be stout enough for the general population that would be buying and mod'ing. GM, nor Ford, should be expected to built a 1000-capable short block. JMO

Sounds like they are really pushing the limits of the 5.8

With a given fuel type, 9/10 times I would bet on the 5.8 short-block having a higher "safe" ceiling, but both engines top out at such high power levels it's really a silly debate. Both engines are capable of huge numbers and both can easily be fortified to handle more. When it comes to cost, well I wouldn't really consider the cost difference too significant because of the differences between the two engines. You must keep in mind the additional surrounding components of the 5.8 including the blower and cooling system. Bolt on only 5.8s are making over 750rwhp. In the long run, either engine is going to bring about the same overall cost per hp. |

I can confirm if you are running 700+RWHP, the internals definitely need to be changed. I've got a rod knocking now.
