Lol the LS hate is great. As far as breaking LS1s and Tranzillas...your friend has shit luck or has bought defective parts. Plenty of 200k+ mile setups down here taking absolute abuse. The T56 Magnum in stock form is rated at less HP/TQ capacity than the Tranzilla and has taken an RX7 into the 9's all day at 1060 rwhp. There is a Chevelle down here pushing 900+ ft/lbs. and still ticking after a year of abuse. Revving...4.8 or destroked 6.0 will have with some work will have you playing in the 8k+ RPM world no issues....more than enough for a V8.

So many variables can be the cause for the failure of 3 LS1's but I cant say I have heard of many people damaging that many motors. You do realize that most LS1's become damaged because of the weaker Gen3 designed Rods and Bolts about 70% of the time. Plenty of 700+rwhp LS1's with gapped rings, boost, and upgraded rods and/or rod bolts.

Not an LS bandwagoner but cant deny results. I can appreciate any good solid build like that M3-RB26 on this forums. Pretty much any configuration you can think of has been dropped into an S-Chassis but its hard to beat the power capacity-to-cost of the LS based builds.
