But back in the vt2 when ls1 was released it was the other way round. thanks ford for responding
Maybe people prefer to go with a proven product ??? I've always avoided buying the "first model" of anything - better to give the car maker a chance to iron out the major wrinkles/issues. In LS1 version - this meant waiting until oil slap/consumption problems were resolved (revised piston/ring combination in 2004). In the case of the Boss 335, I would want the tyre/drivetrain package enhanced - so that that wonderful power could be better transferred to the ground. Also there's been a few waterpump issues as well...
