Also what i was refering to about the torque was "power under the curve" not necesarily a dyno number. also take in mind that when turbos are concerned that the power output on a dyno is not always the same as power out out on the road. plus turbo lag (once again depending on quality of build) can account for up to 1 or 2 seconds of lag... a N/A V8 does not.

lag is non existent when you brake boost any big turbo car. its instant power as soon ans you let off the brake and floor it.
but see the problem with brake boosting is once you punch it your tires are gonna spin. Traction > fwd
its as simple as that..... the guy was on 315 et streets and i was on falken azenis rt-615s..... so traction was an issue out off the 3rd honk..
either way i still think a balt will have problems with a h/c/i ls1 if its set up right.
just due to lack of traction. we all know the be allend all to traction problems...get a rwd car
rwd > traction > fwd

The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
not sure if your talking about me but i wasnt trying to "dyno race" i was just telling the cobalt owner that a cammed ls1 doesnt put out a max of 360tq like he was saying.
yes, cam and supporting bolt-on LS1's usually make 400ish. mine makes 388 through a stalled auto, and the 6 speed cars will usually be a tad over 400
im not saying the exhaust is the only mod i have on my car. i have a lid a ported stock tb but those probably only add 10hp/tq together.
twitch, i clicked on the link in your sig and I now see that it's full exhaust, not just a catback like i was assuming (and probably everybody else was assuming as well). that sounds a little closer to right
