"Obviously the six speed and variable valve timing help quite a bit over the old 4 speed, but here's the thing - I think you can rev the piss out of an LS engine for years under heavy loads and they will take the beating."

I believe that as I've never known anyone to "toss" a rod out of the block or put a piston in the oil pan. I just hate seeing something rev so high on a hard pull, but hey, maybe that's what they are supposed to do. For sure I "proof" tested the one I drove to Florida and back.....Cliff
