Well just finally broke down and raced him last night. Poor little goat got beat in EVERY gear. I admit it was a little tight till mid second, but when i got to the end of 3rd..then 4th I was easily able to just pull over in front of 'em like I was passing him. Oh yeah and I did this 3 times!!! lol All 3 times just pulled in front then got in his lane like I was passing him in traffic. :coolsmiley: You should have heard the excuses flying. I only wish I would have had my nos filled...It would have just been embarrising then.

Yes, although I don't feel like writing out the math to prove it, here is wikipedia,

The LS1 shares little other than similar displacement, external dimensions, and rod bearings, with the earlier small-block V8 engines. It is an all-aluminum 5.7 L (346 in³) pushrod engine and was rated between 305 - 350 hp (227 to 261 kW) and 335-365 ft·lbf (454-494 N·m) of torque in North America, depending on the application. In Australia, continuous modifications were made to the LS1 engine throughout its lifetime, reaching 382 hp (285 kW) in the HSV's YII series and a Callaway modified version, named C4B, was fitted to HSV GTS models producing 402 hp (300 kW). The version fitted to the Pontiac GTO featured a higher-lift camshaft to produce 350 hp (261 kW) and 365 ft·lbf (494 Nm) of torque. Beginning in 2001, the LS1 received the higher-flowing intake from the LS6 and a milder camshaft to keep power at the same level; this also allowed GM to remove the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system (Camaro/Firebird only; 97-00 Corvette LS1 never used an EGR system). The block is very similar to that of the higher-output LS6; beginning in 2002, some LS1 engines were actually built using the LS6 block instead. The LS1 was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 1998. Applications:

And more from some LS1 website, keep in mind, the LS1 is metric actually, and they are probably doing the math by 5.7l to CI, which isn't exactly correct, as the 5.7l designation is as much marketing as anything, but anyway, here you go, add it up and tell the Fbody guy's to learn to count :hammer:

It is an excellent design, and factory part's are enough to run 11's on motor, lol. Gotta give it to GM, they are the king's of part's interchangeability, kinda "modular" lol.

Yes actually it is, since saying it was a 350 isn't just being off 4 ci, it's implying an entirely different motor.
