The heads flow a shit ton more air, the spool and torque are the biggest differences. The hood scoop is very functional, high altitudes and heat don’t effect the truck as much.
I think you forget stock for stock the L5P will drive circles around an LML towing or unloaded. Even a tuned LML won’t touch an L5P going up a grade towing. Sorry they’re just better.
Lol sure because people would rather pay 50,000 for a two year old truck that will break cranks and pistons(oh and the cp4 grenade) or get a new truck with 0% financing at 63,000.
