Some are running hard with the GM intake, i.e. Mindgame who's posting again, but he does have a converted set of 15deg heads.
SO... it depends on what makes an LT1 an LT1, and if that actually effects it's output IMO

For several years, the top guns in LT1 were Dave "Sled" DeLuca, Brian "Madman" Jeffrey and George Baxter. Sled (N2O) and Madman (ATI S/C) ran low 9.1x, 155's. Baxter (Vortech S/C) ran 9.04@155mph, in a 3,900# 30th SS convertible. That record stood for almost 2 years, until Chris topped it. George's engine made 1,125flywheelHP - engine dyno proven. 4-bolt LT1 block, Canfield LT4 heads, LT4 intake, Hooker LT's, TH400, 9-inch rear.
I think that the informal "rules" (we actually sponsored a "Fastest F-Body" meet) were LT1 block, 23deg heads, stock "style" suspension... all components in stock location, torque arm, etc. No clutchless trannies.
Madman has since switched to a Gen 1 SBC, running well into the 8's., and George has done the same. 383 Dart Iron Eagle, Brodix 23deg heads (limited by PRO/Edelbrock Xtreme Street rules), Vortech S/C. The car has put down over 1,000rwHP, and weighs close to 400# less than it used to. We took it to Steve Spohn's shop on Saturday for some "stock style" suspension tweeks... should hit the track in about 2 weeks. The PRO/Edelbrock class pretty much requires that you run at least 8.40 to be competetive.
I have some pictures of the car and engine available... it still looks like a stock 30th SS convertible, except for a large spoiler and the chute mount. I need clearance from George to post the pictures.
