Thread: LT1... Rofl

I didn't think anyone claimed the WS6 had a stock LS1 under the hood.

To be fair, you are correct, STOCK was technically never said.

Buuuuuuuut, "It is an LS1" isn't technically a correct statement regarding the Dirty Bird in is current configuration. Bigger displacement usually comes via boring/stroking and we know its cammed, so you upgrade intake, heads, pistons, rods, cams, and several other parts and still call it a LS1 despite the fact that the only LS1 part still left making up the motor is the block. It isn't a 5.7L displacement motor anymore, makes about 5xs the power but lets race this "LS1" against a LS9 (suposedly a superior motor in all aspects) in the 1/4 and see who is mad at the end of the race.

That is my point, you can call it a LS1 but its not, use to be but its not anymore. You can bore and stroke a 5.7 to a 427 but you won't still call it a LS1 unless you are trying to hide it. Same with my original statement saying you don't call a 383 stroke a LT1 anymore, its a 383 stroker motor.

The cake is a lie!

It's a stock bore and stroke, straight from GM I never said it was 5.7 Liters.
