Despite the common misconception that carburetors are archaic devices, they are actually a simple, cost-effective fueling solution for an LS platform. Not to mention, they are even capable of producing more top-end power when placed in the right hands.

Bradley Gray, a custom car connoisseur, has an affinity for forced-induction components which are most certainly on display among his "Blown Mafia" car collection. See what cars he has to offer inside.

Drag strips can be a thrill, but the brakes, power, and handling of modern LS powered cars almost demand a big open road course. Sweepers, chicanes, long straights, and plenty of run off room beg you to use your car and talent to full potential.

The argument can be made that 95% of all cars for sale on dealer lots could be greatly improved if they only had an LS V8 engine in them. The LS-based engine has become the gold standard for engine swaps because of its relatively affordable price, exce...
