Other than pistons, I don't see what you're afraid of. You get stupid enough
with anything and it'll fail. If someone's going to spend money on a 350P, I'd
rather see some moderate boost than a 4.25 stroke. 7 PSI. No intercooler. Low
RPM.

Slap a 8-71 on an LS4 and let me know how it works out?

Eleven pages later and LS engines are still easy to beat 🤔

These guys buy junk yard 5.3's and 4.8's and without doing a thing turbo them run 10's on a stock bottom end. Blow them up after about 10 runs, go back to the junk yard buy another $500 engine and by the end of the weekend they are ready to go 10's again.

Hard to beat that!!!

..... and sometimes have the balancer fly off and go through folks skulls causing lifetime injuries and sometimes death. Please figure that cost into the purchase of the $500 5.3 and report back.

And the lies still continue or get skewed to their favor.

I personally know of SEVERAL harmonic balancers that failed and took out the Hood, fender, radiator or all 3. They were Traditional Pontiac parts, not the LS parts you posted about. Bill Klausing, again a die hard Pontiac Guy, who is about 6'11" tall would not be happy if you implied he was lying, Paul.
His balancer was one of the failures.

So for $500 you can get an engine that will go 2.5 miles under power?

That's one heck of a deal

Okay, I was just reading it from one of the other guys, I didn't see the actual post.
