Good information there!

More hp and torque, gained 1 mpg city, but lost 2 mpg on highway and lost 10lbs of max payload?

LM2 peak torque at 1500 vs 2750? Seems a bit better for towing? Anyone know if the oil pump belt has the same part number? If the LM2 belt goes 200k I might hang onto it longer.

I believe the LZ0 has 460 ft/lb at 1500rpm too. The same as the LM2. They stretched it out to peak at 2750rpm. Hopefully this provides a wider range of useful torque. It would be interesting to tow an identical load with both and do a real life comparison.
