Sad thing about it is there are a lot of rigged videos on the internet.

I think all of us would be more then willing to eat our words if you just got a video of you at the strip trapping 100+.

A TPI L98 will beat a Ls1 from a dig for a little bit. up to 30? I am talking stock cars. TPI is the torque king at low RPM. I had 305 tpi in my third gen before the ls1 and it was quick before 40.

Don't flame me becuase I will probly never look at this thread again. Just wanted to point out that l98's are torque monsters. I would like to see a 305 tbi car beat an lt1.

They had around 340 crank torque or so, depending on the year. It just came early, but was not really more powerful than the LT1, just felt that way because it hit earlier. Just like people say the LT1 'hit' harder but the LS1 still makes more torque.

edit: that was in reference to the L98 motor


I see the tbi 305 in '92 had a whopping 255 crank torque and 170 chp lol, was only worse in previous years

I don't think he means with his current motor guys. He's having a 355 fast burn built by a machine shop my families car lot uses.

Fast is relative. Longtubes, magnaflow mufflers, CAI, tune, it sure as hell isn't too slow. Like, say, thirdgen slow.
