So that brings me back to my actual question: can a LT1 Fbody be Nationally Competitive in ESP?

Let’s face it even with every ESP legal motor mod a LT1 is only going to do maybe 275RWHP. LS1 cars are doing 290-320 RWHP STOCK and with the full array of ESP legal motor mods can put down probably 350RWHP. I’ve heard of a few ESP cars that claim 400RWHP ESP legal, but frankly I don’t buy that (I’ve been around the LS1 community a long time and outside of this particular car/driver’s claim I’ve never seen a bolt-on LS1 make those kind of numbers).

On top of that a LT1 car is probably an extra 100lbs nose-heavy.

So, what do you all think: Can a LT1 still be Nationally Competitive in ESP, obviously excluding the driver issue? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Yes. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

The trans makes a big difference and I was not losing a thing in the first 200' at the prosolo this weekend to the LS1 cars I launched against. I don't buy that an LT1 car is 100lbs heavier than an LS1 car on the nose. My car made 265hp at the wheels stock, and I know I've picked up tons from the y-pipe, bolt-ons, and Jeff Creech tune. There's more to be had, but Sam has hopped in my car and out run his times in his two-time national championship car. So is more power going to be better or just different???
