The Voodoos have not proven to be a bulletproof as the Coyotes, unfortunately. I'd be curious to see a leakdown and compression test.

The Chevy small-blocks (LS/LT) are fairly robust and not stressed as hard, it seems. By nature, they're also a simpler design. Sure, the Corvette Z06 has overheating issues, but that's really a factor of the Corvette's more streamlined aero and the fact that the 8AT is so popular. The same motor in the Camaro ZL1 does fine. There's a reason LS swaps are so popular, and why there are so many Corvettes at track days.
