.. that sorta makes sense (given where power plant outputs are at present for Holden and HSV)

Plus is the ideal candidate for an LSA kit. I’ve modded the L77 to same L99 spec but upped the CR to 14. Same output as an LSA (GTS) but loads more efficient (fuel, heat).

Only problem is the cost of engineering to get reliable and durable 15 Bar (turbo / SC BMEP) naturally aspirated and VVT is prohibitive. Whereas L99 comes with VVT, relieved pistons, more displacement yet more boost friendly slugs out of the crate. Otherwise is all LS3, ubiquitous and easy.

So yeah VFII plus LSA kit or any SS with L99 plus LSA kit is the best upgrade and update possible for the $. Boost and VVT and AFM and e85 does amazing things.
