It took a long time but my ls is finally quicker than my lt1. Times are in my sig. Both cars have h/c, the difference between them is the ls is an m6, a4 for the lt. Since the lt is my car of choice on race day, I have to come up with a plan to make this car faster than my street car.

I say the lt is my race car but they both still have full interiors, ac, stereo and power windows. There is still something I love about my lt1 that keeps me holding on to it. I prefer the consistency of an auto, plus the torque of the lt1.

I say weight reduction, your race weight seems really high for some reason. Maybe a drag tire setup slicks and or skinnies, bigger stall, ls1 lid. Half of these would not cost you much if you traded/sold old parts. As soon as you cut a 60 like your LT1 it will be even faster.

Remove the SLP headers from the LtX and add Longtubes lol
times are very close. Glad to see another member enjoying both platforms instead of dissing one.....

Easy problem to solve LOL!

Your LT1 is a very mild DD build. Up the cam to an LE or AI grind in the late 220s intake(846 is only a 222/230 IIRC), throw some longtube headers on it, and up the stall to around 3600.

846 is a great and often overlooked off the shelf cam for stock heads, but ported ones can make use of more duration and lift.

Those three changes would be worth a lot of time over what you have now .

A h/c ls1 will have a ton more torque than a h/c lt1.

I would be happy to have an LS platform as well...and an M6 to drive when the auto gets normal..
But, good numbers and good 60 foot..

That, as a blanket statement is absolutely not true. Yes its possible for it to go either way depending on the setup.

Though my ls1 ultimately will have more torque, the lt1 just feels stronger out the gate. There is no comparison after that. The ls1/m6 combination is down right violent.The manual in the ls1 is just too much work for me. It really is a blast having this much power on the street though.

I love the way the lt1 feels at launch. I really would like to get it into the mid to low 11s with a well thought out h/c combo. A 383 would probably get it done without me having to go real wild on the cam. I do have a procharger sitting it the closet from a few years back. That too is a possibility.

I love this thread because I can relate. I have a M6 LT1 though and an A4 LS1 (and a M6 LS1 SS as well for now) and the LT1 has a special spot in my heart especially for racing/spirited driving. I haven't had the A4 LS car to the track yet though but just dig the under dog, beater LT1 thats really a lot of fun to drive. Enjoy!

I really like both ls1 and lt1 cars ive driven both i own a 95 lt1 b4c a4(wish it was m6) and i just love the way it just goes when u hit the throttle and get a little wheel spin but its fun to surprise ls1's when i say its stock and win

it good to see someone supporting both like we should be doing but i guess us Lt1 guys are a rare site sometimes
