lt1 suck
last year i raced a 95 lt1 with head/cam/bore/stroke/full bolt ons and tune from 30-35 mph and went to 110mph. the nose of my car was a little ahead of his rear bumper...do i have a freak or are lt1's really not that fast? he got real mad when i told him i just had bolt ons

i donnt knwo the guy or the car, but he should have left you. with a good running setup like you described.

I'd say the LT1 was busted or didn't really have that many mods, even a very mild stroker w/ just lightly ported heads and a lousy hotcam would be outpowering a average bolt on LS1 pretty heavily... Heck cam only stock stroke stock heads LT1s can hit the 330-350rwhp range of a full bolt on LS1 pretty easily.

Just a suggestion if you are "not trying to bash lt1s" you MIGHT want to consider NOT naming your thread LT1 SUCK

I too owned an LT1 and with just the hotcam kit and longtubes I put down around 330 at the wheels. Imagine an LT1 with a bigger cam, heads, and larger displacement like you claim...easy 400 at the wheels and most likely more than that. Sounds to me like he didn't really have those mods or his tune was WAY off.

I think he was full of **** on the mods he had. Any heads/cam/stroked LT1 should run bottom 11s with ease trapping 120 - if you take the combo to the max it'll run bottom 10s trapping much more than 120. Hell ported stock heads and cam on a 350 LT1 can get you 430 rwhp and be quite streetable.
So either he's full of ****, can't drive, or both. LT1s are not slow, contrary to what you may believe. They have the same potential as an old school gen 1 350, and the same potential as your LS1 motor.
