It has HUGE aftermarket; can make far more power than the SR or KA can; especially on pumpgas.
400whp and 400ft-lbs of torque with a HUGE powerband and tons of torque off the line is doable with a simple intake manifold, cam swap, and head porting. Drivability, gas mileage, responsiveness, etc... the list goes on. The swap is legal, provided the engine is swapped into an older car (not hard since most LS1s are 1998+)
The transmission won't shit a brick when you go to higher power levels either. The Tremec T56 is HUGE. Weighs double the KA tranny.
The 1jz isnt a legal swap either. It has no provisions for EGR, etc. It was never available in a USDM vehicle.
