Never discount the power an LS platform can make. One of the best engines to hit the market in some time. My next door neighbor has a 01 Camaro with a LS1, auto with a set of ported stock heads, nice cam and Fast Intake and is almost in the 10's on Drag radials. He just put a Mosier 12 bolt in it. 11.19's last time out. It's a very street worthy car.
