And with that I'll shut up since no doubt someone will try and "Influence" me or some other poor sap, that's looking for information, and not opinions....

After seeing my friends blow up multiple turbo 13B's and turbo 20B's I'm glad I went LS1. I have 20K miles on this combo and have simply changed the oil on it and cleaned the air filter. I'm actually running the same spark plugs I put it together with.

my view might be different than the rest, but sports compact car magazine editor and writer is kind of bias against V8 powered car. instead of openly judging the pros and cons of vehicles.
