I raced my brother's LT1 back when I had my LS4. All I had was exhaust and he still came around me on the top end and he only had an intake and had cut the exhaust at the axle. LT1 cars barely edge out LS4's in my opinion.


I loved my LS4, but I'm glad that I moved on from it.

LT1's in stock form are dogs. I'm honestly surprised he passed you at all.

Me too. I'll almost never turn down a race from a Corvette, even though I know I'm going to get my *** kicked, it's fun seeing how long I can hold out.

I've never raced an SRT-4, have no idea what they're capable of or how they do.

If you're racing from a dig you may have an advantage, most LS1's fight for traction when launching. My car's auto so it doesn't spin much at all, pretty consistent launches. From a roll in an M6 they take off pretty hard. If you do get a race with him post some vids, I'm always into watching 4 bangers take on a V8.

They run pretty good but struggle with traction. His mods 02 ss lq4 427 , 13.1 compression, tea head 102 fast setup, big cam, full suspension, 12 bolt rear with 410s on e85. I'll be on30# of boost. Max out my turbo and pray to keep up. Lol. It will be fun.

Your car has one purpose. Boat anchor.

Short bus or full size? If it's a short bus, it's not fair. They're race ready with their helmets and all.

On a side note. Your car sir, is sick. That's all

Power comes to them soo easy too. The people with slow SRT-4's are losing the game of life.

High 13's low 14's typically on a well maintained(this is getting more and more uncommon) totally stock LT1. About the same as an LS4 car.

When you start modding an LT1 fbody, LS4's can't typically hang mod for mod from my experience.

Right, about the same as an LS4 car, but less top end horsepower, which is why I'm surprised the LT1 was able to pass him up in the top end. LS4 car must have taller gearing, which would account for the harder launch from a roll. Though I'm not sure, not very familiar with the LS4 cars.

The gears are disgustingly long.
