Hello, everyone! I am new the the site but far from new to F-Bodies. I am in the process of turning a 94 Z28 in to a track car over the next year or so and then have some weekend fun!

Welcome. Yes, I'm an LT1 lover! It's all a matter of perspective. When I was in high school, we had crappy tuned port 305s in our Camaros. The LT1 was a HUGE improvement! But yes, the LS1 is superior.

I agree. My car looks completely stock except for the exhaust tips. Still got the salad shooter wheels too. It's always fun to surprise an LS1. Especially the Vettes!

Once you throw enough money at these cars, the LSX advantage is marginal at best. Plus when I get tired of the LT1, I will go BBC anyway.

Back in the 90's before LS1 cars were so popular. I used to rule the street with my 293rwhp LT1 SS. Only real loss was to a C5 and a Cobra

My dad wouldn't let me get an LS1 at 18 so he made me get an LT1.

All an LT1 needs is a FIPK, LT's, Catback and a nice lumpy cam. 330+whp
