Competition Plus DP and CJ article

I would love to put an LS motor in my Corvette and run stock eliminator with it along with a low rating like the CJ/DP cars. The only problem I have found is that the people over at General Motors (more specifically, GM Racing), don't give a crap about drag racing since the last man in GM Racing that was around for Top Stock. Whoever took over seems more concerned with the C6R program and in-line 4 cylinders out on the salt flats.

The second problem deals with the forced air combinations. I have heard several "chevy" people on here say, "how about the CTS-V LSA rated at 425?" Well...I hope you like looking at tail lights. The problem with the LSA (1.9 liter blower) rated at the same horsepower as the 330 or 281 cube Fords is that the three and four valve engines respond much better with boost so rated at the same horsepower, were still going to get smacked, especially if stock boost is required.

P.S. An LS engine with a 4.0 liter blower sitting on top will fit under the flat C3 corvette hood with plenty of room to spare.
