LT1s, while not offering the easy performance potential of the LSX's are still great motors and if maintained properly are very reliable.
There's a member on here who has 220+k miles on his LT1 when he sold it, still runs mid 13s, and has been to hell and back. It ran like a champ, but since it has a locker and 4.56s it was retired from DD duty.

I can very well keep both and have a DD and a drag car but for the sake of cleaning up the property and not blowing all my money on two vehicles, I need to make a choice. The truck has to stay or be replaced with another 4WD vehicle so that rules out eliminating it from the property (need a way to get to work to plow the town roads).
I really shouldn't have bought the Z28 and just made the Formula into a street/strip car (and lived with horrible times until I got better at shifting) because now it made my plans confusing. I suppose I can have my pie and eat it by leaving the 6 speed supercharged with nothing else (and driving it) and investing money into the Z28 to make strictly a drag car. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
