That's More

I just got done reading that I'd be money ahead buying an LS3 long block instead of doing the displacement-on-demand (DoD) delete on my car.

On the plus side, the LS3 is a 426 to 436 horsepower motor as opposed to the "mere" 355 to 362 of my L77.

Using the LS3 cam in my motor is supposed to be worth about 40 more horses, so 395 to 402.  Nothing to sneeze at.

But money ahead?

A complete kit, less programming, is just about a grand.

The best price I've found on that short block is six and a half thousand.

Basic programming is a mere $100.

Last time I checked $1,100 < $6,500.

Never mind that I already have the tools to do a DoD delete and lack a couple I'd need to swap the block.
