Well...it's been just over a year since the old goat had a heart transplant...after about 4000 miles, and a good tune, I can tell you that I love it and would never think of going back to the old poncho plant. Better on fuel, more drivable and just a blast to drive. When someone asks if it goes pretty well...my response is, "it flat-ass flies". Is an LS swap for everyone? Nope...but it was the right thing for me to do. Amazing how many people flock to the car at shows and cruise in events to ask questions about it. Best part about going to to a show or a cruise in is when I get to hit the road for the trip home. I fire it up, let it idle for a few minutes, throw it I to gear and head on down the road. I always try to spin it to at least 3000 rpms on the road out of there (within the speed limit of course)...Let me tell you...the sound this thing makes when flying past 3,000 rpms on its way to 6,500 is truly intoxicating. The old 461 sounded good...But this 6.2L just sounds like a freaking race car when spinning up.
