How can you say the LS1 over the LT1 when..
#43
I forgot to mention i have the super rare factory Transmission Perform button which increases revs and allows you to be put back in your seat when you shift which is probably why i usually beat cobras and ls1s.

One of the longest and portrayed issues with LT1's was opti-spark and the caps always leaking. I dont even own an LT1 and know this.
The reverse flow design requires heads to support it when in actuality the problem was cylinder no 8 going lean - a problem that plagued old school small blocks for years. The reverse flow limits head choices drastically.
LT1's use the old style 18436572 and not the gen-III and up 18726543 which GM changed to further balance firing events to improve idle performance and also make the motor more balanced.
Add on 6 bolt mains versus 2 bolt and there is no contest to LS1+ Gen III's and up are an overall better platform from the get-go. There just is no contest.

I'd really enjoy taking this guy with me to the LSX shootout this weekend, at Atlanta dragway.

Comparing V6 performance to a V8 simply by the number of cylinders show you really don't know what youre talking about.
Google some stock LS1 dynos, the LS1 push close to 400 crank hp STOCK!
Its not the cubes! Its not the amount of cylinders! The LS design is just far more efficient and that equates to more power.
Comparing a 346 CI to a 350 CI is really nothing.
