Holy ****, he better be balling.

Wow... Sounds like a waste, IMO. Converting an LSx to diesel just sounds wrong. I know that diesels make insane torque numbers and are REALLY hard to beat... But come'on... It's an LSx! You don't have to do much to make crap loads of power on pump gas with an LSx.

Turbo + LSx + built bottom end = 1000BHP!
Warhawk LSx + built bottom end + turbo = 2000+WHP!!!

Why spend all that money on the conversion when you can do more for less?
