Re: LT1 or LS1
Honestly from almost everyone i've known that has owned an LT1, and switched to an LS1, they will tell you the LS1 is alot better. It's like comparing a Mach1 Mustang and a 98 Cobra. Just alot of evolution has gone into the engine design, though they are totally different blocks in both scenarios.
An LS1 puts out about 40whp more, and bolt ons tend to add more to the LS1. Don't believe the hype about LT1's holding more boost, cause it's the same (Buddy is pumping over 10 psi of boost through an STS turbo on a stock block LS1 w/ 100K+ miles).
In order to make a decision you should really test drive both cars. It all just depends on what you want. LS1's burn oil, and LT1's have optispark issues.
