Unlike the LS, there just isn’t that much information out there about it right now-especially when you decide to put it in a 1972 Nova and try to go 7s with it. With Fireball being the first into the 10s, 9s, and 8s, that only left him a few places to go, one of which being the 7s.Īs we mentioned earlier, the LT is much more advanced that the LS and with that comes a corresponding amount of complexity. Doug saw what the Fireball guys were doing and figured he could do them one better. Lately, that’s been the Fireball team with their sixth-gen Camaro-that is, until now. We all know that every time a new mill rolls out, it becomes a race to see who can break records with it first. And yet, that hasn’t stopped guys like Motion Raceworks owner Doug Cook from pushing this new engine platform into the 7s for the first time, and in doing so, re-setting the Gen-V LT world record.

And because it is the most technologically advanced V8 the General has ever produced, it is also its most complex-many are still trying to figure out how to make good power with them. However, that day is not today, as the powerplant is still relatively in its infancy. The Gen-V LT is the future of GM V8 performance and perhaps will one day supplant the LS as arguably the most popular engine platform of all time.
