LS style super late motors

[Kromulous]

Are a lot of Touring teams running the new Chevy stuff like the R07 etc?

The Ford camp seems to be selling a lot of the RY stuff, and running some D3 based stuff.

My question would be, is the LS platform that much better of a design? We looked into the Mullins stuff and its pricey but the power for Mod is great, and you dont have to run it hard. Its about 4k more. So i guess is it worth it?

They RY stuff was a real leap FWD for Ford, as for design, but not sure why i see a lot for sale.

heres my theory I know some guys that ran the 525 they would fly for a while and slow down after races I always thought that because it had the crank trigger at rear of engine that the crank would twist like a axle does after a few races and the time would be off,just a theory...

probably thought they needed more gear to run with the more powerful engines and when the tracked slicked up , they slowed down...jmo...

Colin Shipley, schlenks teenage step son is running one. He has looked good when seen. Heck he lead half the feature other week at Attica. Track was slick but motor looked drivable. I think 800 drivable hp gonna be faster than anyone with 950hp erratic power. Let's face it, touring guys don't need the big hp either except the occasional bristol big fast tracks or a heavy fast joint.
