No, a rating of 305-310 is right on the money for an LT1. LS1s were GROSSLY under rated at 305-310 hp (as most will pull between 285-320 RWHP). LT1s are 300 FWHP engines while LS1s are 350 FWHP engines.

well if its a level one car it should be 305 like the WS6 cars. if its level 2 then it should be 315 like the firehawks. not sure on the torque ratings. but those are the numbers ive always known. and yes they were under rated too, but not like the LS cars.

an example would be my car. 272/309 at the wheels. im rated at 305 and 335 if you use Metals torque numbers. im also an M6

I don't get it...you have a LT1 SS but you love ls1's but you ask if they have as much power as your car? And your name is LS1forever...and your signature has a LT1 SS with mods? Just wondering....
