LOL! The thing is that the LSx motor represent a huge achievement. One of the reasons people love them so much is for their versatility. The VQ37 is far superior technology-wise to the LS3, but the reason the aftermarket swarms to the LSx motors is because they're not only easier to make power on with virtually any mod, but they're extremely easy to tune. LSx motors are far less complex and are very easy to pull apart to work on. With the VQ37, tuners aren't even sure about how to tune the VVEL yet. LS motors finally get variable timing, but a simple VT lockout turns that off and you're back to the simplicity of the LSx. Also, remember that the LSx motors are single cam push rod motors, making cam changes a lot easier too.
