Folks need to realize that when you see people getting excited about their car, doing engine swaps and spending money on their hot rods in general, that it really means that they are (or will be soon enough) spending their hard earned money in the performance aftermarket.

This influx of cash means the performance aftermarket companies have money to reinvest into R&D for everything else also.
- By extension, that means that some year the performance aftermarket might possibly give a crap about producing stuff for Mopars....maybe....probably not though, as they are content selling TONS of product to the LS crowd.

The LSx will be just like the SBC of the previous generation, in that all those thousands of guys building the pesky SBC and SBF, basically enabled a whole aftermarket industry to be able to thrive and have the operating capital to be able to operate and innovate.

The world is really much bigger than most Mopar guys will allow. Embrace the fact that in this 2010 economy, anyone is building a fast car with any powerplant.

Encourage people to buy parts from vendors too...they might just also produce a product that you like to use.

Back to bickering about Mopar 590 cams and SuperStock springs, I guess.
