but what you dont understand is, that it DYNO's at what GM rated it at the crank. also, 20HP over a LT1 isnt gonna make a second faster in the 1/4

Bottom line is this.. GM has a habbit of underrating engines more so than most companies. Most of their performance oriented engines have been underrated from the factory (at least up until the new SAE rules that took effect a coupe years ago) and the LS1 in the f-body cars is one of the most extreme examples. That engine made virtually the same hp (give or take 15) in every car it was put in. Other examples of underrated engines that were put in multiple cars are the LS2, LS6, LT1, and LSJ Ecotec among others, but most of those were rated at the same (but incorrect) hp in the various cars you could get them in.
