Yea same here, but Ecotec on the other hand.......

Anyway back on topic. I say go blower all the way. Not only for the ability of a pulley swap (litteraly 5 mins and 100 dollars equals 50 more whp) but also for the sound.

I mean a V8 sounds incredible, but install a CAI on a supercharged engine and have that blower whine like a jet turbine. It sounds out of this world and barely any other cars on the road have that sound.

The 6.2 has VVT . The 6.2 in the Escalade already has it.

I don't think he was referring to VVT...

Although i do like VVt and think they should incorporate it into the new motors.

True, but isn't the acronym "VTEC" proprietary to Honda? Therefore, isn't he saying there will never be a Honda parked in his garage?

Yep, just like saying he won't have a DSM/Mitsu if he said MIVEC.

VVT and VTEC are not the same thing.

VVT provides very little increase in peak power compared to VTEC.

6.2 S/C All the way!!! Just like the Mustang cobra all it would take is a few hundred dollars to add another 100rwhp once you already have the platform.
