Message	I've got an LT1 in my DD right now, they are nice engines with lots of potential, but the cost to get to where you want is going to be at least 5-7000. I know this because Ive done a lot of research on the LT1's performance paths, and it gets very pricey, plus, to get the Z in the 12's could cost you less than 500 bucks (cheapest price to get to stage III), the cost to get there with an LT1? Way more. 11's, forget it, better get a second mortgage. Plus, like genic said, they handle like mush compared to a Z. With that said, the LT1 does have a great exhaust note...
