LT-1 Basic Power

I just wanted to know if the LT-1 motor responds well to basic bolt ons such as an LS1 would. Im not talking power adders such as nitrous, super-charging, or turbo. I just want to get a basic feel for whats out there, and what really makes a difference on these motors.

And the one in question I think is an 1996 car.

i have no idea what that would do - i have shorty's...i noticed my car more responsive thru the RPM's, esp off the line...i left a 176 foot burnout in front of my house...ha, yea i measured it.....and it would have kept going but i stopped giving it gas...not bad for an automatic with 120k on it = )....but now after the Tb was put in i have detonation at high RPM...assume it is starving for fuel now with so much more air going in...thats why the regulator is goin in this week.,.....the guage is in already,....thats why i said LT1 stock fuel pressure is about 38 psi....least mine is

LT1's respond fine to bolt on's. There's been one guy to run in the 11.9X range at about 111 bolt on only. Most usually run between 12.5-13.5 with bolt on's depending on state of suspension and traction.

Don't get sucked into the LT's own all frame of mind. There's PLENTY of Mid-length header designs out there that maintain your emissions compliance and make just as good power. ASM's all the way!!!

Mac mid-lengths are supposed to be just as good as LT's too...but you can beat the price of the pacesetter LT's :P
