LS1's make more power yes. If you are talking 243 heads STOCK not ported, a good ported stock casting LT1 head flows about the same. You take a 350 LT1 and turn it into a 383 and it is comparable to a mild H/C/I LS1 setup power wise. The 383 having a little more torque and the added cubic inches helps power production. You start doing the speed secrets like rotational mass, LS1 air induction, gasket matching intake, and exhaust flanges, proper gear ratio you can make a LT1 go. You can also do those same things to LS but those are variables than can even two setups or make them different. I'm sure a lot of people don't realize a LS1 lid setup on a LT1 is worth 10-15whp alone. Not even taking into account adding a ram air setup. Hell a proper merge collector rather than a lesser flowing pacesetter y pipe can be worth another 10-15whp. I am talking H/C/I 383 gains on the lid and merge. LS1's pick that much up too on a f body with some of the merges that are out there. You are not going to get those kind of gains out of a bolt on car.
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!

Big cubes the LS wins. Average every day stuff it can be close. Just the LS is a gazillion times easier to work on. LS just plain start with better heads as well.

The car I was talking about had 241s it was a 02 ws6. At the same time I agree with what your saying. So that doesn't make the lt1 more superior. All I've been saying but you got a lt1 fan boy here, so I'm sure he will disagree with that. At the same time I'm sure 80% of tech will disagree with a lt1 being more superior.

That's the point I was making as well. LT stuff is great, I love the sound and look of LT1 cars. But the LS is just a better overall starting point. Ya boi Jake didn't get that. You think he would, seeing as he has an LS car

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

Yeah.. I used to run my GT500 full trac off and still would nose down. Never made any more runs where I pulled the fuse... so I cant tell you it would have fixed it... but worth a try anyway... its just a fuse. If it does the same thing, just pop it back in and figure out what else could be causing it.

Because you did ***-U-ME, you made an *** out of U and ME.
Sorry, this just reminded me of the Odd Couple with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman.
Just disregard this post....

Actually, the problem was with you assuming.
