Give it a couple years. Once the 5th gens get older and the C6's are more cost efficient more people will be be wanting more options for them. I'd like to eventually go with a LS3 top end, just to match the block and cam.
It'll be the new LS1. Wait, it already is, and that would make the LT1 the new TPI.

I wish they were more like the LS7's..12* Intake and a flatter Intake Manifold..that thing can flow. I'm using the L76..you are only going to get so much through it..ontop of that the more ci bottlenecks it even more. The 370's and 6.2's run like hell..seen some really good numbers out of them.

I've been thinking about a Vic Jr, 4 bbl 1000CFM TB, and a Cam change to open up the top-end more..7500+RPM..

The first thread was fun for a min, but I agree by the time it got to 305's are better, that's when the **** got beyond ridiculous.

Whats bad that I fear may happen to this site is what happened to thirdgen.org. That site used to be great 10 years ago, alot of members with alot of knowledge. But then these cars became teenage "beaters/hot rods" and you have alot of ricer mentality there now. Dont get me wrong, still some knowledgable members but not like it used to be. Soon (if not already) the LT1 cars will become some 16 year olds beater/hot rod that gets all the autozone mods done to it.

Hate to say it but its true...

Thats because the lt1 was a better stock platform and no one wanted to mess around with the third gens any more because limited mods and the ones they had where not cheap. I know I had 2 third gens and I would take my LT1 car in stock form anyday. There has been a resurgance in good parts and mods for the third gens in the past 10 years so that will stay for the most parts the teenage cars and yes you will get some in the LT1's since they are cheaper now but thats just the evolution of the beast. Since there was a huge gap from the 4th gens to the 5th gens it wont be as fast since a 5th gen wount be under 10k for many years.

Good point Mike. But it seems like regardless of the age or generation of forum members on here, stupidity happens.

agreed. Kill the Lt1 Vs. Ls1 = LT1 victory. The LS1 is a superior motor. The LT1 is great and all but this argument is like someone saying that Black N White TV is better Color
