I love the SSS. I love going to Montgomery on a regular basis due to the fact the number of SSS that are in Montgomery. It never fails I have at least one jump on me and I show him the door. What is with Montgomery Al and the number of SSS there? I see at least 10 every time I am down there.
As for the LS2 being touchy, here is a little video of my touchy LS2. The motor has not been touched it is the stock heads, cam and bottom end. Seems to have responded well to the upgrades. I drive it for work quite often. Took it to AL on Wednesday did a little over 600 miles in the day.
I use it to get grocerys, hall the kids, pull a utility trailer, work and pleasure transportation. But mostly, with 170+ 1/4 mile runs I use it to kick the crap out of unsuspecting people. I don't know how many times sitting in the staging lane I am asked, "what do you run, 14 seconds?". I just say yup, about right.
