Another LT1 vs. LS1 story
Long story short, I raced this guy on a private property 2-lane last summer with nothing but bolt ons and a stock drivetrain. His setup was an LS1 with an air lid, 3.73 gear, and a magnaflow muffler. I had a holley TB, shorty headers, MSD 6al, Hooker catback, 1.6rr, and a PCM for Less tune. I beat him by a car length at about 1/8 mile. He never shut up and told everyone I jumped him and his car was "slow to get up and go" since it had a gear but a stock stall converter. He'd been ragging me all winter, so we went agian at the track. I now have an eagle forged rotating assembly, 355 LE1 heads, TH350 trans w/ a 3000 stall. He still has a stock LS1 but maintains that a stock LS car can take a 383 stroker lt1 because they are an inferior built engine. He lost by about 6 car lengths, and was still loosing ground when we crossed the line.

Re: Another LT1 vs. LS1 story
Kind of sucks to be him right now though since at least the 5 of us have seen this post. Cause I know I will pass the word on if he sells more items ... Let everyone know when you get a bad seller ...
I never had a problem on here, and I would love to keep it that way.

Thanks to all the people that were quick to jump to the conclusion that im a cheat, and because of the way this turned out and the fact that ddr698 diddnt get his TB promptly I dont plan on selling anything else on here, or any other forum.
Stock LS1's are weak.

Re: Another LT1 vs. LS1 story
And to the the guy that sent me money for the throttle body after I had already sold it to the first guy, youll be getting a full refund in the form of a money order addressed to you.
Mods please move to the feedback section if needed. I dont need my reputation ruined on here.

Re: Another LT1 vs. LS1 story
This is a prime example why seller should communicate with a buyer as frequently as necessary to ease the mind of the buyer, after all, in most cases, seller has the money which buyer trusted and sent and they are anxiously waiting for some sort of assurance from the buyer.

Re: Another LT1 vs. LS1 story
I didnt jump to conclusions ... But I know I dont want to see someone get burned on here. Did what I say make you want to post right away to clear things up? If it did, then it did what it was supposed to ... Except it works out the best way possible because you actually did ship the item and aren't full of excuses. Im not ruining anyones rep. yet. No one did anything to harm your rep yet.
Really though, to the buyer, once you recieve, you should post on here that you got it so that anyone that read this thread can see he did in fact send it ... Not doing so is screwing him big time.

Re: Another LT1 vs. LS1 story
I think the other user that is getting his money back goes by 'toby' on here, if anyone knows him / wants to make him aware of this thread. I already informed him of the info above about a week ago though.
