Weren't some of theF-Bod LT1 M6 trans geared real short, not sure if thats part of the comparison here? Also, I understand the LT1 being setup from the factory as a torquey engine, but how does an LS1 with better cam/head flow and better/longer intake fall short on anything but off idle torque? The only thing it lacks is a small amount of compression against the LT1
The LS1 cam is not better by any stretch. The LSA is wider resulting in later intake valve close resulting in very low dynamic compression. Needs to rev to start building cylinder pressure.
