Hey guys...go to LS1Tech.com to learn something.
Guys...I just got my LS1 and it's an auto. Stock I run a 13.5...and that was with 87 degree track temps!! This is 2 seconds faster than my Mystique after all the work I put into that car. (SVT UIM, ported TB, K&N cone filter, gutted cats, SHO y-pipe, exhaust)
All this talk about how many liters you have or is it N/A...yada, yada, yada.....it doesn't matter!
The fact is....an LS1 makes around 300-325 HP at the rear wheels.....STOCK!!!
The LS6 in the Z06 makes around 370-390...STOCK!!!
In order to keep up with this...Ford had to supercharge their engine.
Now...all I have to do is buy a torque converter($500-$900)...and I will turn 13.0's all day long. Headers and exhaust($800-$1000 total)...I'll be in the high to mid 12's........cam and heads($2000)....low 12's to possibly high 11's. All of this naturally aspirated!!!
Like they say...no replacement for displacement!!
Ok well lets line up an '04 Cobra with an '04 Trans Am WS6 and see who wins.... oh wait, nevermind. Well how about an '04 Camaro Z28.... oh, whoops, I forgot.
