If it's already super efficient and it only puts out 300 Hp then I don't see it having good street performance potential. At least the torque is balanced with the Hp and it's not a little half second wonder right before shifting.
I want an all aluminum LS1 derived 400!

Hehe that 427 is an LS1(6?) just bored and stroked. 
Kinda like the lingenfelter 427... Or was it the GM one is an actuall LS1 block with the bigger bore... And the LPE was bored/stroked... Or maybe an all aluminum 454 LS1 derivitive that would rule!
