I saw this post on LS1tech and really liked it, so I figured I'd bring it over here. What are your guys likes and dislikes of your LT1 F-Body.

Likes:
-cheap availability of internal parts thanks to common architecture with the classic small block chevy.


Dislikes:
-optispark
-common problem of getting the intake manifold to seal

I dunno, the LS1 brought so many things that put other motors to shame its hard to find things you like about the LT1 when comparing it to the LS1.

I hate the fact that my car is already 12 years old

Likes-resemblance to a traditional SBC. Cheap to build an lt1 motor.
Dislikes-opti

I only hate one thing the opti. If it had coil on cyl or something, or hell if it friggin had points id love it more than an opti.

Forgot to add how i hate my car is 10 years old so the bolts really dont wanna budge.

I would have to say that I dislike the optispark

Likes: Abundance of TQ down low; Availability of mods; Bang for buck; Stigma that the LT1 has gotten for being slow.

Dislikes; Opti (not the opti itself, but the manner in which GM executed the implementation I.E. mounted it immediately below the water pump); Amount of money it takes to REALLY make power (talking upper end of 400's here); Stigma that the LT1 has gotten for being slow.

Can't really say I have found anything I dislike about it yet, but I just got mine in February and have had it from 88k to 104k miles and have loved it after owning a v6 firebird for 3 years...

Opti junk. spark plug access.

 

[contraststriker]

Dislikes: ...Stigma that the LT1 has gotten for being slow.

AMEN

The way I look at it, yeah the LS1 should be faster and does have more power...but the bottom line is if half the people don't know how to drive 'em, then I don't mind having the 'slower' LT1. I have blown the doors off of a few LS1s without the spray.
