Sitting in my rail the LS firing order definitely is a lot smother at idle.

More than likely I’ll have a cam ground with the LS firing order when it’s ready for its 1st rebuild.

If your Stock Eliminator engine has a dual plane, save your money. The pulses on the intake manifold will be disrupted by the changed firing order.
