Interesting-
Would the LS2 be a better candidate for FI then?

Where can I find more info on the LS7, in regards to "weak internals" and "very thin cylinder walls"??

Its been a while since I went over all of that, so you'd have to dig up the engine specifications on your own. The motor is a LSX small block punched way out... hence the much thinner cylinder walls. The 11:1 compression, Non Forged Pistons and Titnatium Rods combined dont hold up that well to added atmosphere.
