Thanks to someone emialing me a couple vids, I have what I am looking for.
For those that would do nothing but try to argue their case that the LT1 would not run faster than an LS1 at ANY point in a race. I disagree. The LT1 torque peak is at 2400 RPMs, and by the factory is 325 Ft/Lbs. The LS1 torque peak is at 4000 RPM and is rated at 325ish Ft/Lbs dependent on year. There's a HUGE difference in that 1600 RPM. ALL things being equal, the LT1 will grunt harder and jump a little bit on the LS1, but by the 1/8th mile, it's going to be all over for the LT1 as the LS1's phenomenal top end will take over. Been there, done that, seen it too many times.
1600 rpm's may not seem like much, but between the two F-Body's, it's a world of difference off the line. I'm sure their will still be some that will still try to argue otherwise, but you will not convince me on this.

It's nothing but a myth. I own both too, they are totally different animals, even from a dig.
You either seen a good running lt1 and a bad running ls1.

I am just happy that my pretty stock LT1 will still be even with the new 05-06 Mustang GT's. :-) I dont care to much about racing against our own. I understand the LT1 puts out less than the LS1, but being only 19 I am happy with my 1997 LT1 T/A.

Here's a vid. Stock vs. Stock, LS1 vs. LT1. The results yeild what happens (and what I have been stating). The LT1 gets the lead at first, only to be walked down by the more powerfull LS1.

I had a 91 GTA with the L98 in it for 4 years. Car was perfect and it made 233rwhp but it also made 328.6rwt on the dyno stock except for catback. My 98 LS1 made 318rwt stock catback and lid. As far as fun on the low end...doughnuts, spinning the tires, showing off...my GTA was way more fun than my current car. It could incinerate the tires as far as you wanted to go. However, the ride was over at about 4800-5000rpm. My LS1 T/A is way more powerful and is way faster than the GTA. L98's are alot of fun though...if you can find a decent one...too many dudes sportin mullets got a hold of alot of them early on and trashed most of them. I remember racing an LT1 SS on Bankhead Hwy in my GTA and getting my *** handed to me after 2nd gear. Off the line it was close. Still a very fun car!!

This thread was started because I wanted a video to show stock vs stock. I got what I wanted and posted it up. As said before, the LS1 is more powerful and faster in the quarter mile. This is not the argument as I feel some are thinking it is. What I am saying and have been saying is that the LT1 has a different power curve than the LS1 and will initially have more torque than the LS1 thus running slightly quicker 1/8 mile or 0-60 time, until the LS1 hits its curve and has use of its greater HP. If you don't believe me, look at the video I posted up again. It is of poor quality, however it demonstrates my point perfectly.

call911.....YOU ARE WRONG......100000 times proven......get over it.
Walking dead...I totally agree with your post....I had a 92 tpi 350 AND my ls1 at the same time.....on the street the 92 feels faster at anything under 60mph....
I know two corvette owners who were SORRY they traded their tpi cars in on new lt1s back in 92.....because of the loss in torque below 4000rpms.....
TPI= torque
LTI= horsepower
LS1= BOTH
