i have finaly fiqured out my ls1, it appears that between GM and SLP some how the 500 hp ls1 was swaped for the original engine,
the reason say this is as follows, aluinum ballancer , 6.5 quart oil change , piston slap at 1400 rpm.
and finaly it can take on and beat a 560 rwhp bmw.
and finaly the vin# is deferent

You might want to post the new discovery on ls1tech.com if you haven’t already. I'm sure they will have a lot of questions and comments.

You, sir, have the patience of a saint. I can't figure out if this guy is a troll or an escaped patient from a mental health facility.

As far as Mystic27 goes, you need to post some pics or videos. You're making some pretty wild claims here. I believe you said you bought the car new... Wouldn't the window sticker shed some light on your questions? How much did you pay for the car? Because if it was sold with a 500hp engine as you claim, it would have cost around $20k USD more than a regular SS. So many questions that I highly doubt will ever be answered.

And simply contacting David Hamberger probably would have answered the question, but he never bothered to do that. And, if he bought it new, why did he wait 20 years to try and figure it out.

None of this makes any sense to me, but thought it would be a good idea to play along to see where it went. Wait 'til he posts any part of this on ls1tech.... they'll eat him alive

That was an interesting read, or at least the parts I was able to read.

The OP should post some pics of the mystery car.

I agree. I’ve been subscribed to this thread for months. It says on the OP’s page that he hasn’t gotten back on since the day of his last post though....

IP is from Winnipeg, Canada, where he claims he bought the car new.
