add 373 gears and you will own him. I have a 94 z28 as well, and i beat a guys 98 ta buy a half a car length. that is right I have a lt1 and he had a ls1. my car is slightly modded with gears, intake, performance chip. we both had auto trans though so you will have to shift good

 

Gears, intake, and performance chip vaults the LT1 over the LS1? Man, I'm gonna sell mine.

 

hey bro it happened so what are u gonna say a stock ls1 runs btwn a 13.4-13.8 in a quarter, my 94 z ran a time of 13.5 so there u have it

 

yes it is possible for a lt1 to have a time of 13.5, but what mods did you have to do to acheive that, ls1s do it stock, and was that 13.5 a one time thing or do you run that often

 

no that was my best run of the night i have only been to the track once and i ran 4 times that was my best time. my first pass was a 14 flat go figure. i have 373 gears. cam, moroso cold air intake, free flow exhaust, amd two of those performance chips that plug in to your airbox on the intake thats all though!!!

 

The LT-1 is a cheaper build than an LS-1 if You're going to Modify the engine. Both respond to mods extremely well. I've built a number of LT-1's for $3 grand or so ( 383 Version with ported heads and cam ) that run well into the 11's on sticky street tires. You could spend about the same on a LS-1 but keep the stock bore / stroke combination and run similar numbers. If You stroke the LS-1, You'll spend more but it'll fly. I've done a 388 inch LS-1 that runs 10.60's in sticky street tires, haven'y tried real slicks yet ( rear end issues ) but mph is 126 -127 so it's not hooking up too bad. The LS-1 will make more power with similar mods but costs more.

 

By shopping wisely I was able to rebuild my LS1 (stock bottom end, but new rings, bearings, added main studs, rod bolts and head studs) for $2500 with a cam swap. That price includes the block I had to buy because my old one was cracked. The key is knowing what parts to buy and keeping an eye out for deals (like ebay or for sections of web forums). The car runs in the 11's.

 

if you want to beat an ls1 that bad just buy a ls2 simple

 

try a the lt4 kit that converst your lt1 to a lt4 engine i installed that on my 94 and made 400 plus i think thats more than enough

 

if you launch right a 3000-3800 stall converter can suprize the **** out of most people. "buddy picked up .5 sec on quarter with a 3200 stall and a shift kit on his auto" just food for thought
