If I recall correctly, it produced nearly 700 hp:ALL engine, no bottle. I'm fairly certain an LS3 couldn't eat THAT...

As I understand it since Ive been in CA we are even worse than draconian. If a car is post 1975 it must maintain original smog equipment. So you cant swap in a modern LS motor easily because it wont retain said equipment. Its ridiculous.
