IMO, drilled AND slotted is overkill. I prefer slotted.

Thunder Racing has Powerslot rotors.

Try these guys. No first hand experience with them though.

Your asking for LS1 brakes, in a LT1 performance sub forum, lol. I think there is a braking sub forum, your best bet is to post your question there.

Agreed, I think it's more of a aesthetics thing than anything else. I like cross drilled brakes, like the fat ones you see on a Porsche.

The only reason I prefer slotted is because some rotor companies actually DRILL and countersink the holes instead of casting the holes into the rotor when it's poured. Slotted rotors maintain the integrity of one solid piece and still vent gases and heat just as well. Drilled rotors are more prone to cracking under extreme heat and pressure.

Now I'm not saying that drilled rotors are crap because everyone has seen supercars with them, but they are cast from superior alloy and come at a superior price, but if you're looking for a good all-around rotor, I'd go with Powerslot or Brembo OEM-replacement blanks (I'm using the Brembo blanks myself).
