Plus:

Coil on plug ignition accurate to within a tenth of a degree
Gerotor oil pump mounted on crank snout
Low tension rings
Lightweight valvetrain
Stable cylinder block and bottom end
Optimum rod/stroke ratio
Hollow, lightweight camshaft
Greatly improved thermal efficiency (cool em with a heater core!)
Accurate fueling
Injector targeted directly at back of intake valve


And more I'm forgetting.

The biggest myth in hot rodding is "LS" engines make all the power in their heads.
