And I'm pretty darned sure I invented it on this very board.

I'd like my 15 minutes of fame now.

BTW... According to GMHTP:

GMPP is coming out with a taller deck iron LSx variant, capable of increasing displacement to 480 cubic inches and sustaining 2000hp...

A twin turbo 450ish cubic inch LSx would be an unstoppable force in a roll from 60mph or so.

Cylinder heads are still an issue...

They need another bolt...

A Rat-style valvetrain would be WAAAY cool too, but both of the above are pipe dreams...

 

Hey, stop crying.

I'm pretty sure I invented the term "black suburbans" on this board. No one gives me the time of day.

 

Just to **** on your campfire a bit, ( ) I searched the forum for "LSx"

The earliest searchable use of the term in this sub-forum was by Burmite (10/25/2002):

The earliest overall was in the engine forum by 1RedHotZ28 (09/27/2002)


Your first use shows up as 12/10/2002:

OK, I'm done being a jerk.

 

I am pretty sure I was the first to come up with "F5", but do I get credit? Noo....

 

FWIW, Chris and Jason used to delete older posts periodically, so the search results are not necessarily conclusive.

At first, I thought you meant the F5 that's on my keyboard.

5th gen. I get it.

 

Awwww... I was just messin' with him. I figured something was up when all my searches only went back to about mid/late 2002 for oldest threads.

 

Isn't someone making LSx blocks & heads with a fifth bolt up at the 12 o'clock position? It wouldn't be ideally spaced, of course ...

That I think.

 

Hehehehe!!!

Cripes, ever thought of going into research full time?

 

If using the board search function to search for a keyword was all it took to be an investigator, I'd be the next sherlock holmes. Just ask the lounge.

 

But we don't know that this one will have an "F"

 

I am referencing a time when we didn't even know there would be another car.

Well...most of us, anyway.

 

Check yer PM's, bub...
