Since the LT1 doesn't need a heated intake is it possible to make a composite LT1 intake to replace the stock one?
deep skirt design. and mod for mod the LS1 will allways be faster.

LS1 heads make power past 6200..LT1's do not . Not even ported/polished LT1 heads make good power past 6200.
LS1 is just a far superior engine.

As to the LS1's 6 bolt main

i always see people knocking the LT1 because it has 2 bolt mains ... but yet, we don't seem to be seeing LT1's fail because of it.
aluminum isn't as strong as iron. if you put 2 bolt mains on an aluminum block it will fail ... GM didn't come along and go "hey lets do 6 bolt mains because we feel like it"

Re: what is the diff between an LS1 and LT1
Comparing modded engines doesn't make sense to me.
ls1 is a better designed engine, thats what happens over time. the lt1 was at the top when it hit the street, and the tpi guys were probably saying that a modded tpi can run with a lt1. The ls1 engine is no longer top of the pile anymore the ls2 is a better version of it and the ls7 owns all right now. 8 years from now it will all be changed again.
