Stay LT1 or go LS1?
Yeah, but I have the motor I am building already sitting on a stand half torn apart, and by the time I got the hotcam in the car, I would be ready to start building the motor and be out 600 bucks. I think this will get me well into the 11's on n2o, maybe even 10s. Block zero decked, mahle forged pistons, scat forged i-beams, all arp hardware, custom breat bauer cam similar to le2 cam, and a 150 shot. Maybe some minor weight reducion to. Also, all bolt ons.
oh... 4 months... when you said "graduate high school" i thought you meant like a year or two down the road
yeah ef the hot cam
i still say get teh forged eagle crank.... more spray
more spray equals more fun
eerr my bad college not high school... my mind is somewhere else today.

I have a 96 LT1 6 speed, full bolt ons with nitrous. I was getting about ready to build a forged motor for it, but have been thinking about selling everything off to buy an LS1. Convince me why I should! I am torn, because I really like my car and I love the LT1, but the LS1 has so much more potential. Help me out please!
What kinda times have you seen people get outta that 150 shot on the cc306?? I gotta buddy with that cam and most of the supporting mods and he was looking at ethier a 100 or150 shot of juice this summer...
He hasn't ran it at the track yet... for some inane reason, he only sprays on the street... so no times.... he still has stock heads/intake and run's a 7.7 in the 1/8.
He is also trying to blow his motor... he wants a reason to rebuild it....

A friend of mine had a stock bottom end with cc306 sprayin a 125 and pulled best of low 11's. He was trying to dip it down into the 10's but started a new motor. He also has some weight reduction. I agree, I think the LS1's look a lot better, but having an LT1 that can rape cobras and the like would be sweet. I am maybe looking at a scat crank. I need to talk to Bret Bauer some more about it. He is helping lead me in the right direction for the specs on the cam and the n2o. Sorry if this doesnt belong in the tech section. I got 3 hours of sleep last night and my mind isnt all there...Please move if needed.

Stock for stock the LS1 has much more potential. I mean that if you do full bolt ons and a cam but no headwork you will make much more power with an LS1. But if you are planning to do the mods to the motor that you are describing then it wont matter LT1 vs LS1. The aluminum block maybe a little lighter, and the ignition system is light years ahead of the LT1, but you would have to remodify everything or spend a lot of time swapping parts. Stick to the LT1.
