Since it's an LT1, stick with the LT1 ram air hood. I don't like the looks of ls1 ram air hoods on lt1 bodies.

The LS1 hood doesn't really match the line of the LT1 nose, the LT1 hood does, go for the LT1

The LT1 hood, it was DESIGNED FOR THAT BODY STYLE!!!

It finishes the car, makes it looks like a birds beek ! The LS1 hood not only looks inferior on an LT1, it just plain looks like @ss !!!

I don't like the 98+ WS6 hood on LT1 cars...it just wasn't made for them...

Stick with the LT1 style.

LT1. The LS1 hood introduces curves on the 93-97 body style that aren't even there.

+1 for LT1 Hood. It matches the body better, and looks meaner.

Even though the poll is 17 to 0 right now and everybody says LT1, I bet Spuds still puts the LS1 type on and posts up pictures asking for opinions on his sweet new mod.


How 'bout it Spuds?
