Something that dawned on me, does no one run a Neil Chance behind their LT1?

It did suck though because of the time and money I was out for two rebuilds. When the car got a th350 I went with another brand.

Conversely, I also thought that it was because most guys use Precision Industries converters.

Let me add...if the LT1 nation starts to see more ATI treemasters behind their motors then we'll see quicker and quicker LT1 cars. And for me, it was an IHRA World Champion that pointed me toward ATI. Used to be my secret weapon in the internet bench-racing class until the competition figured it out too.
