Re: Stock LT1 Horse Power ??
Yeah custom tuning also costs a whle lot less and gains you more. When modding your car one of the most important things to remeber is magazines LIE for their advertisers period. Hypertech Granatelli, Jet etc. all CRAP on a good day, the only good thing any of them offer is the Hypertech 160 stat.

Stock RWHP for LT1s generally fall in the following ranges:
Autos:240-260 RWHP
M6s:250-275 RWHP
The Ratings for the LT1 F-bodies, like their new LS1 cousins are under rated (though not to the extent of the LS1s). LT1s are roughly 300 FWHP engines.
