I agree with Larry 100%. This could be a very good thing for the site. It will put us in the limelight one way or another and like stated the more interest in the site and sponsors we get the bigger our events and the more recognition we get the more interest we should be able to get for our "old" platform.

Don't get me wrong. i thank it will be great for the site. the lack of platform support is just a sore subject with me. it would be great if manufactures take notice and realized this platform is still around. and that it may be "old school" but still going strong.
like that thread the other day where a guy is putting down almost 1,000 HP. with a stock block!
Im hoping it will get people to realize its a awesome platform to dive into.

Considering we already have the site name, I really think we should run with it and embrace it. Some site is going to have to fill the niche, we already have the name.... let's do it IMHO.

And if not the only thing we have to invest is time. So its not really going to cost anything to test the waters. Plus a shirt with ltx cars and new vettes could look awesome.

I could see and embrace this:
Original tribute small block LT1 style block......except aluminum instead of iron...
Capability to be stroked into the 400's to compete with the LSX's
LT1 Reverse Flow Cooling and higher compression ratio and higher low end torque numbers
LSX individual Coil-Pack Ignition Platform
LSX Style PCM to support the higher HP builds and better tuning
I think if they did all of this, the new LTX motors will be monsters! All the strengths of OUR LT1, without the weaknesses!

If what the articles are saying about the new motors is true, that's going to be a really radical push rod motor. A direct injected small block? Yes please!
