Do you mean S54? They are nice for NA, but definately go LS series. I also vote for the LS2 if you can swing it, they are bad ass. If you are getting a new engine the LS3 is basically the same price and even more bad ass (.040" overbore of an LS2 with better heads). My next toy car will be motivated by a boosted LSx engine, probably a LS3. The LS stuff has so much support and they make power so easily, it is hard not to go that route. Yeah, lots of people do it, but there is a reason for it!
