Default LS1 vs Lt1

does anyone have a video of two bone stock camaros racing? one LT1 and the other LS1... trying to see something... i raced a guy a month or so ago in a bone stock cept lid LS1 Z and he stayed right next to me... I raced a bone stock LS1 formula and put two lengths on him. raced a bone stock LT1 and put 7 lengths on him. now then i am trying to figure out if the first Z had something he didnt tell me. all races where from a roll... but any video helps! thanks in advance!

Well you have a heads cam full bolt on LT1, you should be running faster than a 13.1. Thats a stock LS1 1/4 mile times, roughly. Try searching you tube or streetfire?

the 1st ls1 with a lid may have been tuned which might account for some of the difference..as for your 1/4 time you might need to raise your shift point and def. get that 60' down and you'll be well into the 12s

sorry man, it takes a lot for an LT1 to match a mostly stock LS1 performance.

i trapped 107. and it mostly just no power on the big end... i shoot it out the hole but then he comes screaming by me at the 1/8 or so... i dunno.. he is having problems with his car right now. but, when he gets it running again i will video it and post it for a good analysis by you guys! haha and i am working on the traction thing as we speak!

W/ your setup you should be well in the 12's and pulling stock Ls1's pretty good. Though some stock 6spd LS1 cars trap more then 107 theres definately a problem there.

I had less mods with my Hotcam LT1 and it was running almost mid 12's at 110mph.

i'm putting down 330rwhp. its just a mild cam... plus the stock rear end. i've thought about the stall, but does it hurt your drivability? i dont have much experience with them. and the 13.1 was on street tires, so i know slicks would pick it up a little...
