Your mention of the Bowtie LSX block intrigued me and I did some research. I still have a few questions though. How would it stack up to the Warhawk aluminum block or a Darton sleeved ls2? The latter is supposed to give the C5R a run for its money. Also, if one were to get an LSx, like any other 6 bolt block, what heads would be used?
As far as 2jz's go. I would really like to see a supra from a dig without starting at 6krpm, as in idle to 100mph, vs. an ls1 doing the same. A 10mph roll would should be pretty much the same.
