Who should be allowed on the LS1Tech Boosted list? Here we go again. 
In response to someone submitting an infrequent poster's non-LS1 Fbody, I responded:
I just think it diminishes the LS1Tech Boosted list if we include cars that are not LSx F-Body. I want to hear everybody's opinion before we go down that road. I may confer with the Administrators on this one. I don't know if they care.

1996 Firebird? You threw me for a loop there.
I think it has to LOOK like an LS1 to get on the LS1Tech Boosted List.
I'm open to differing opinions, though. We can come to a consensus.
IMO it must be an LSx engine AND an LSx Body... but, at LEAST look like an LSx.
Any other thoughts?
Keep it objective... no personal remarks about people's opinions.
(And no "new" registrants.
)

I think the list should be for Gen 3 powered cars of any type. I think iron blocks or C5R blocks also, not just LS1. Even a boosted Mustang (did I just say that) if its a gen 3 should be allowed. They are allowed in your racing series.
Just my opionion.....

PS: Steve and Mike, you guys are the KINGS of gen 3 now. You deserve it. Congrats!!

This site is more about advancing the limits of the LS1 based Gen 3 engines. If it has a Gen 3 based engine then I feel it should be on the list. If the owners have an account here then I see no reason it shouldn't be on the LS1Tech boosted list.
The list should be about showcasing what these engines are capable of no matter what shell it's in. IMHO

is this a car site or an engine site? its' called ls1tech so i'd have to say he should go on the list. though remember if you want to include lt1 bodied cars with ls1's then you should include any other conversions like rx7's etc... even rail cars (they are out there)
people will still slice the list up on their own to get their time further to the top.. like fastest supercharged or fastest 6 speed. so this would just be one more thing.
if not the above then you will get the opposite and have ls1 bodied dragsters with non ls1 engines on the list.
there was a c5r car on top last year.. is that considered an ls series engine? i have no idea.
on the .com i made my boosted list so that you can toggle through what specs were important to you, and they determined the order of the list.. sort by et or sort by mph or sort by 60'.. anything you wanted.
problem is not everyone has microsoft or the latest version of exel to view.. turned into a big hassle so i dropped it all.
personally i dont think we have the numbers here to start getting exclusive on people.. maybe after there is more than 100 it will be time to get picky.
i would really like to see it only be ls bodied cars but it's just not fair.. not right now.. and especially not in this case because the guy is just a front clip and a hood away from being the same damn thing.

As long as its LSx based it should be on the list IMO, even C5R.
Its a list to showcase the fastest FI cars based on this platform, as long as the person who owns/drives the car posts his/her time themselves and its somewhat realistic I see no reason it shouldnt be on the list.

Verdad Gallardo I only posted Mike and Steve's time because they are just too busy to jump on and post. Plus they are just waiting until the car is at full potential. Prolly don't want to post until the car has ran it's best. They will let us know when that time comes. Prolly an 8-second slip and 160mph. And then Mike's yellow car will get done and be #2 on the list.
I mean, come on, the time was ran at the LS1tech race for crying out loud. There are videos in the race section.

The website is called ls1tech , not Fbody.com so in my opinion anything even an harley davidson with an ls1 engine on it should be post on the boost page, not just fbody . Again just my opinion .
EDIT: Sorry , I tought this threat is about who should post on the the boost page . If it is for the records i think it should be an Fbody with an ls1 based engine doesn't matter if its an c5r block or 6.0L block . Cause if you put any car on the records list the list will go on and on .

It only takes two minutess for someone to post their time - if they dont want to or they arent interested (some people arent) its their decision
BTW, I think Mike just hesitated since he figured a '96 was an LT1 car. I have nothing against the car being on the list and its obvious the car ran what it did - I was there too and seen it.
Dont see the big deal either way and dont think thats what Mike is talking about anyhow. I think he is talking about non LS1 f-body cars being on the list.

Im torn because 97 and older F-Bodys are what they are... F-Bodys.... I fit has a LS1 in it ti tshould be on the list.... I come to this site to learn all about F-Bodys.... why? because i own one and it happens to have a LSX base motor in it. All LSx based motor should be on the list... there is no reason to exclude a iron block or even C5R.... its a LSx base motor. Most people only complain because they dont have the $$$ to spend on one. I believe if its a F-Body and it has a LSx base motor in it, it should be on the list.

LS1 and LS1 deirivatives(Gen III) are all good IMO. This is LS1tech, not F-Body tech, or Y-Body tech. So if someone wants to shoehorn an FI LS1 into a Busa chassis I guess that's all good too. I suppose at some point if we get too many exceptions like RX7s and Ultima's that have too much of a weight advantage to make it competitive then maybe we could setup some more specific rules about must having an F or Y body to be eligable. But like was said, with the numbers we currently have any GenIII should be eligable.

It's great to know what other FI cars are doing however, I think that for this list it should be an LSx derived motor and most importantly any info to be put on the list should be posted only by the owner of the car.
It always bothers me when someone puts someone elses car on the list.

We could add an LT1 list to the list too maybe as another section.
