    Yeah, basic bolt ons plus a cam and a good tune that sounds more like it

    I always thought it was a factory freak and built on a good day. I did see it some years after I lost the car and some teenager from IL had it. I knew it was mine cause of the cracked front end and the Chevy Bowties on the doors.

    I did write the time it ran and the date behind the speaker panel on the driver side. It also had the black and red interior and black and red exterior with t tops.
    I used to think the same thing about mine. It always seemed a little more beasty compared to other LTs. I mean seriously man I know of some major slouch LT1s. Last time I seen mine it was on a trailer, being sold wrecked for about $2500. The guy told me he was going to rebuild it, because honestly it was mostly cosmetic damage, but maybe some frame damage who knows. Wonder if he ever did rebuild it.

    Had potential!

    Jimmy your LT1 was beastly after the motor build, it pulled hard, but didnt sound like it had a cam. Who ever you had build the motor it in did a great job. I miss that car, can't wait till you and the SS come home for some top down cruizin next year!

    Close but no cigar. They are solid black/red/white to match the car. They dont even make those anymore, very rare. They looks like the altezza but there was no way I was putting those gay looking things on my car.

    Yup, definitely not those, close, but totally different design. I forgot what they were called, but the company doesn't make them anymore..

    Jesus enough of the LT1 is crap stuff. If the shortblock is stout..have the heads ported and throw in a cam. I made 390ish rwhp on home ported heads and a cc306 cam. My stock rear lasted with my M6 until I put in a dana s60 and I ran DRs for about 30k miles. I think I had about 3k into my heads/cam/headers etc oh and I never had a opti fail but I did replace it when I did the cam swap.
    If you can do the work yourself it will be much cheaper!

    my first lt1 was fine with 150-175 shot for more than 100 passes on it(and 120,000 miles) with completely stock motor it would run mid 13s natural,and 12.0s on the kit.
    I ported some heads myself(the famous 30 minute port job)and put a baby cam(211/219@050) and the car ran mid 12s natural and went 11.1-11.2 on the "small" shot.

    FINALLY kicked a rod out when i started trying to hit it with 300ish on the heads/cam setup. car was over 4000lbs raceweight

    RPM is the real killer of these motors. spray CAN be safe.

    And let's say he didn't use the 250 shot, let's say he used a 150 shot, would that make up the 1000lb difference between the two cars? Then again maybe he doesnt even need it.

    I personally think if he's gonna try and race it, and he's got $3000, well $2000 for the rear end and then $1000 for the cam and related hardware/tune.
    he ran 11.9s on motor with the caprice,raceweight was over 4000lbs,drove it to GLD from new london Wi. i believe he managed to averege nearly 20mpg on the trip.
    someday i will talk him into a little bit of nitrous....

    I turned my 200k motor to 6900 and it loved every minute :-D It was on the original opti at the time of the cam swap at 180k. I dropped the fucker and broke it when going to put it back on so it got a fresh one, LOL

    Lt1 motors have potential just do your research! I have AI heads and Cam and my car made some pretty good numbers, it was on a built short block. On a pretty mild street set up with a small shot nitrous my car made just south of 600 rwhp and a little north of 700 rwtq.

    Who ever said it was "crap" ??

    He said he doesn't know much, some of the LT1 guys should give him a hand, if he's willing to learn, and you guys are willing to show him. Thats how I learned about my LT1, getting dirty and frustrated learning.

    LT1's aren't crap their just slow no matter how much $$ you put into them.

    If you want to modify it without breaking your bank, you should do it on your own so that you can save more. But the disadvantage is you should have time and effort to make updates in your exhaust.
