LT1s are slow and suck
LT1s are slow and suck 
haha jez kiddin figured that fold some ears back, well I'm about 2 months away from rebirthing my LT1 mule Peppe. Have not been in here a while thought I'd say sup to the ole LT1 diehards. See some new faces...or usernames, I have a brokedick 97 Z28, thrown rod, been saving $$, and at the point of having enough to just buy a different car...kind of a crossroad not sure what I want to do but then again the Z28 is paid for...but I do have the engine builder decided, and 85% of the engine specs decided upon. I miss the roar of my lt1 with the dual caps off....can't imagine what it'd sound like with a big ole solid roller cam, 396 stroker and the caps off

Bad *** Brett, I remember down at Lowes when you had that 847 cam, car ripped so hard. I'd stick to it man, its really getting there and wont be long till its on the street. plus the car is cleaner than most LS1 cars, so unless you goin for that Vette, I'd stick with the Z28.
Thanks dude, I miss Peppe bad. Your right though man I mean it's paid for so what the hell. The only vette I like is the new one, and you know they are giving them away 
. I'm getting anxious, this Camry is awesome at 32mpg in the city right now...but damn I feel like an old man driving it...

OPTI will not be part of my new setup, definitely doing the LS conversion. Considered Delteq but I like the nitrous control with Bob Bailey's LS coil conversion setup.

I've kicked around building this engine for boost with either a V2S2 or a turbo setup, shrugs just not sure I'd like the mild hyd cam setup and low compression heads. And I already have 2 week old AFR-210s (till it threw a rod) so I'm thinking about just staying all motor and going nuts with some crazy custom grind and custom intake/throttle body...maybe I'll just add nitrous one day who knows?
