LT1 350/5.7 93-97 F-Cars (Camaro & Firebird), 92-96 Y Cars (Vettes)

I can't really say much for the C4 LT1s since I dont know to much about them. They do 13s out the box and are rated at like 300HP.

LT1 2nd Gen SBC

1993-1995 275HP 325TQ
1996-1997 275HP 325TQ
1996-1997 SLP WS6 & SLP SS 305HP 335TQ

LT1s generally can run high 13s to low 14s with traps around 98-99MPH. They could be had with a T-56, 4L60 in 93, 4l60E in 94+

LS1 V8 346/5.7 3rd Gen SBC 98-02 F-Body, 97+ Vettes

98-00 305HP 335TQ

98-00 WS6 & SS 320HP 335TQ

98-?? SLP Firehawk 335HP 335TQ

2001 310HP 335TQ

2001 WS6 & SS 325HP 335TQ

2002 310HP 335TQ

2002 WS6 & SS 325HP 335TQ

LS1s are under rated, they have been known to break 12s out the box with Evan Smith driving, but for the most part they do mid to low 13s at traps around 104-106. Buyers could get a 4L60E Auto or T-56 manual.

C4 vettes with LT1's will run low-mid thirteens with the right driver. LT4 vettes (1996) are 12 second contenders. these better times come from more horsepower, less weight, and better weight distribution front to rear.

the HP did change in 96-97 f-bodies....if you take off the exhaust manifolds, they have slightly larger ports but GM never mentioned it. The cams are actually slightly different also but GM never mentioned it(ill try to find the build sheet for those years and get the cam specs for them). Also, the 96-97 cars went to Dual-Cat setups.
