ls1 torque vs lt1 torque
LT1s are bitches to work on. LS1s are a pleasure. i have 2 LS1s and 2 LT1s, both LT1s and one LS1 are stock, the other LS1 i completely rebuilt, ive worked on Gen 1 motors and LS1s and LS1s arent that much more, but have tons of advantages, plus you dont want to set your car on fire when you work on an LS1

By your logic, if the LS1 had 7 mods, the LT1 would have 14.
Thats an *** kicking.

Above is a picture of my buddy's old LT1 versus his new LS2. The old 96 WS6 had;
Scorpian 1.7's
Longtubes
Ghetto rigged off road y pipe into a muffler of the end of the Y, I think it was a bullet
K&N for the ram air
The LS2 is STOCK
Notice the difference, exactly the same horsepower till 4850rpm, and slightly more torque down low. Interesting shiznit eh?

Stock vs stock the LT1 would never make the same poer/torque anywhere in the RPM band.

Find a CAI only LT1 and compare.
Car ran a 12.8@108
plus i have done all the little b.s. free mods that are like 1rwtq here 3rwtq there. evidently they add up nicely. the car has a nice neck snap for the mods.
my hp curve jumbled up at 4500 rpm on the dyno bc i had a broken spark plug. once i changed that out it was even faster. my hp should be around 300-310rwhp.
close to stock LS1
you've dont got any numbers for lower down in the rpms, but by the trend I dont see you having more than 315tq anywhere below 3250
2200 305tq
2500 315tq
3000 310tq
3500 310tq
4000 310tq
