even though ive built a few LT-1s, all my NA cars werent able to hang with 6speed LS1's. the top end on those cars far surpasses that of an LT motor.
like i said, and seeker said, probably it was the driver mod most needed in the WS6. i always built for maximum low end power to come off the line and hope i put enough lengths on to keep the distance for the win.
such is not the case anymore though.

While it is quite possible that his dad isn't the professional level racer that the rest of you are. Most likely "Dad" didn't want to "humiliate" his son and used just enough power to stay ahead of him. A win is a win whether it is by an inch or by a mile.
