New G3 Hemi Block...

LOL...the G3 Hemi isn’t THAT great. I heard all this same crap when the 4 stroke dirt bike was jammed down the throat of motocross. Slow revving, pig assed heavy and down on power compared to an equal displacement 2 stroke and the catch phrase was was the 2 stroke was outdated. A crock of **** at least.

Not sure that is apples to apples. Just because the EPA wanted to kill 2 stroke dirt bikes doesn't mean that everything that is new is not better.

Couple of things I can think of that the G3 Hemi comes with stock that people spend money to put on an LA:

1. 300cfm heads
2. Crank trigger
3. Cam trigger
4. 4 bolt main caps
5. Roller cam

Add the option for VVT and EFI and it's a pretty nice package.

I know you don't like some of that stuff, but some do.

Besides, hard to ague with something that makes an extra 100 hp and get's several mpg's better than the 5.9 did.

Doesn't make it the end all, be all. Just that it comes with some pretty nice advantages.
