Now that I have my 5.0, I'm STILL afraid of LS1s.
They are either 1) beaten to hell and run like shiite or 2) are well kept and modded to hell.
Damn you, GM.  |
I know of a lot of LS1's, and I know of a LOT of LS1's beaten to hell, but none of them were ever slow. POS's? Sure, but fast ones, lol. My LS1 put a lot of cars in their place that it had no business stomping.
I sold a 98 Z28 automatic with 114K miles on it when I worked at a dealership. Guy bolted DR's on and ran consistant 13.1's with it at the strip bone stock + a Flowmaster muffler (which loses hp over a stock muffler on an LS1).
Later, he dropped in a stall, cam, spray, and a built transmission he had laying around (he owned a shop) and was running consistant 10.30's@133mph. Had about $2500-3500+the trans invested.
He finally blew it up doing a wheel-stand on the street, oil starvation, spun main.
