I'm just being picky on the details

the way to go does not = the same
Is that why the fastest bolt on LT1's are running Longtubes
they usually tune them to rev another 200rpms..
109mph is pretty damn good for bolt ons
no skinnies
no slicks
no 52mm tb
no rockers
no weight reduction

Luis,
This thread is FULL of misinformation.
You WILL pick up horsepower AND torque by removing a restrictive muffler and installing a straight-through bullet, however, your peak torque will be moved up a little higher into the powerband... This means that if you have an auto without a higher-stall converter, it'll feel like you lost torque because the peak torque was moved up higher into the powerband.
If you have a 6-speed, you may have to launch a little higher.
Longtubes benefit ANY LT1, modded or not, to a great extent.

This section has few people left that know what's going on. It appears to have been taken over by those with "internet hearsay intellect," but no real LT1 / mechanical experience.
I emailed Jason about becoming a mod for this section, but so far, no response back as of yet.
Maybe it's because I'm not a "people person."

tell ya what mike-
when you can explain why i lost 4 tenths by taking off my muffler i'll follow your ways
same day, no changes, just lost 4 tenths
its going to keep pushing it up to the point where
a. your not reving that high
b. your average power/tq is less
he already has an aftermarket muffler
another one isn't going to do him much better.
why dont we all just run open long tubes
talkin to combo-
they had long tubes to a catback of some sort on a 396 with a 306 CC
cut out lost them 10hp
you can use your theories, *** dynos and "my brothers best friends sisters boyfriends bothers gay lovers car gained xxxx with xxxx," but the dyno and the timeslips are all that matter to me.

Yes, the LT1 Tech section has been quite lax since the Advanced Section opened up and most of the tech people went there.
