Ok....This may or may not be..

A worthless thread but...

Why do people keep trying to tell me the LT1's had more torque then the LS1.

I have yet to see a dyno sheet to prove this but people keep trying to tell me the LT1 had more torque..>???

Ls1s make more HP and more TQ at peak and under the curve.

That's exactly what I told this guy with his 94 LT1.....he insisted he didn't have to because he knew....I even pulled dyno's from both and Lemons, I told him word for word what you just said...... I guess some LT1 owners are just jealous over the LS1's...I know if I spent ever dime I had on a 97 Z28, brand new, and the next year they came with LS1's I'd be mad too...lol
