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)

LS1 swap into a 97 would be a complete waste of time and money. As we've been over the LT1 IS competitive. Regardless of dyno numbers the LT1 has more torque. Especially an ESP LT1.

I'm not even sure that an LS1 would fit into the bodywork of an LT1 car.

If I were to swap in an LS1 to build an ESP car it would be into a 93 or 94 hardtop V6 car with no options.
