The LS2 is the one I really like. The stockers I have tuned made 340 to 350 ft lbs @ 2500 rpm! The GTO (340 ft lbs) had 140 miles on it, absolutly untouched before I got hold of it, and the Vette (350 ft lbs) has a Corsa cat-back. 361 ft lbs peak tq for the GTO. Put a blower on the Vette, needs finished. Sweet engine. My '98 WS6 convertible might need one of those.
Take care, Ed
10.26, 131.72, 1.31 60', 600 DA foot braking it
NA 383" LT1, 4L60E, 3350 lbs, LT4 heads & intake, street legal.

i dont even bother anymore. people act as if a tenth of a second is a major *** whoopin. dont care if your taking those kinda of times and speeds. its a tenth of a second. one tenth, nothing more nothing less. this is why i do not get caught up in drag racing. i honestly think it is purely pathetic that people put so much weight on an ET. i care more about MPH honestly that shows how much power the car has. so your car hooks better than mine. all of a sundden that means your engine is superior? last time i checked sticky tires and a tuned suspension make you hook.
i just dont care anymore. if you think the LT is a waste thats fine. more parts for me. more chance for me to be proud of my engines out put instead of upset over why i made 3hp less than so and so on the other side of the country who has the same exact build.

I wasnt saying that ls1s wont be faster I was just saying that lt1s arent slow like this guy seems to think... I know that a ls1 with a big cam in it can trap in the 120s but they usually have heads too. I was just ranting because we just had a thread that said how people are always talkin crap about lt1s like their the worst engine. I think on the street that a lt1 car is more fun because of low end torque.

I'm with him...Tons of fun, and ED, I don't think that anyone on this thread has said that they think LS1's are inferior to LT1's! We just feel that the need for some (not all!!!) LS1 owners to be condescending is not necessary and we could defintely do without some of the attitude. Most of the LS1 guys are great and give all the props, but their are some that just need a good attitude adjustment. Just because they have the latest, and and greatest doesn't make them any more special! We just have to add a little more gitup to get past em'
