I may try and get it under the knife for a 5.3 or 6.0 boost build, but I'm focusing on my 5.0 for now.
It was a learning experience. I definitely know of a few things I will be doing differently next time out.
Lund tunes my car... He told me it can't be clutch protection as it's turned off in his manual tunes.

If you can't make a LS1 run hard you are either low on money or low on knowledge.

At least on my truck, I can turn the nannies off by pressing and holding the button but in an event if I'm spinning way too much, TC will still kick back on.
You have to pull the fuse to get rid of it for good. At least that's how it is on my truck.

The LS1 does have a power advantage but not to the degree you claim. it is simply easier to work with and a better platform for upgrading...especially bigger cubes (400+). However a simple AI H/C package will put a LT1 in the 400-420whp range, run mid low 11's, and trap around 120 done right.
I am guessing you got into LS engines when most LT1's were getting ragged out, just like the poor LS1 combinations you see posted here all the time these days. As these platforms get cheaper to obtain, they tend to get modded out with ebay parts and are just plain mismatched combos. As a result you end up with heads cam 6.0's getting beat by cars that trap 114.

Yes, but I think what he's also trying to say is that button doesn't fully disable it neither.

I said a basic heads/cam LT1...Switch to aftermarket heads now you are looking 440. 383, AFR, SR cam, Single plain, fuel, now you are 490-500 pretty easily. And a cam only LS1 at 449 is going to be a huge cam that drives like ****. To top it off I already said the LS1 has a power advantage.

Point is, if you squeeze everything out of a LT1 you can, you should be able to run with a mild LS1 setup. Trust me!
