I am not looking for a race motor, just a solid truck motor. I agree, vortecs or L98s would have been a better choice.....for more money. If money were no object, I would have just swapped in a 6.0/4l80e and associated electronics and left it stock, but I built it with what I could get, for a price I was willing to pay, with a realistic power goal in mind. I just don't think it feels like it should.

I know all to well what that's like. Except my bike has pedals haha. I'm putting together another engine myself and am using some vortechs for about 400$ the factory l98s are cheap as well but about 500-700 assembled. I'm keeping the low compression rotating assembly and adding a lunati 268 cam. Should be around 350hp and 400ft torque and run on crap gas to boot. My rig with a 700r4 and 305 would still spank some a$$ with 2:73 gears but I could also drop to second at 55mph lol
