I'd keep it because resale value on LT1 cars isn't that high. You could probably get about 7-8k through private or 5-6 if you trade it in.

If you're asking, you should NOT keep it. Its not making you happy enough. You should give it to me.

Well, if I had to oversimply everything. I would say the LS1 only has you in terms of better cylinder heads and electronics. Sure you won't have as big of an aftermarket you could beat LS1s as long as you set your mind and pocket book to it.

LT1s are good cars, you have a reveltively low mileaged one, if your really wanting a ls1 car just do a swap....but your cars solid and it only lacks behind the ls1 by around 30-40 hp and a few other small things
