Richard, it would be great if you would do a full build on a gen 2 LT1! Show all the LS guys what they're capable of

[sevencorter]

Now we need a gen 2 lt4 vs lt5 and ls6

[tunerdadtunerdad]

Excellent video. The Gen2 LT1's are the red headed stepchild of the SBC's. I have a completely stock other than 355 gears and a built 700r4, 1993 C4 corvette 40th edition. Surprise a lot of people with that old car. Love it. Love the video. Brings back good memories of the old "camel humps"....LOL

[NaturallyaspiratedJJM]

Looking forward to the LT5 vs LS6 shootout!

Richard, thank you for sharing another excellent in-depth comparison. Your June 2010 MotorTrend article comparing the '70 LT-1 to the 1996 LT1 was instrumental in helping us decide on our swap (click on avatar to view) way back when, and we've been fans ever since. Keep up the great work, and we'll keep following your channel!

Lt5 vs ls6 vs 96 lt4 next test for the king of 5.7

[jordantownsendracing]

Great video as always. Can't wait to see the LT5. As a previous c4 ZR1 owner I'll always have a soft spot for that engine.

[Tim_ToolMayne_Taylor]

Just when we thought that Richard found all the “I wonder if” tests we are too poor to do, he finds another we forgot about. Keep up the great work!

Back in the day, I ran a 1970 LT1 in a Z-28 Camaro... It was a great car and engine. I updated the cam to a Racer Brown STX 21 solid lifter(I believe), and the 350 then made right at 400 horsepower and revved out to 7000. Roller rockers were definitely needed then as the Racer Brown cams increased action, burnt up factory rockers. That cam really brought that engine alive. The factory cam was plain lazy...

[TommioRS]

Im soo down to see what the LT-5 makes! I swear its under rated by the factory.

[koraykumru]

You are the guy who convinced me to get a station wagon with the gen 2 lt1. I love the engine a lot!

[troy]

I'm excited can't wait for the Z06 performance test 🙌

[masskhamisi]

The gen 2 LT1 and LS1 are under rated ...

[micahsweetenberg]

I tried telling people for years that the lt1 made more power then what GM was claiming!!!

[michaelallen]

I'm always on team gen 2 LT1 lol.

[The_R-n-I_Guy]

Love the gen 2 LT1!!! I just wish they weren't so expensive to modify. I've got a 96 Buick Roadmaster sedan and it's pretty good. I just wish I could afford to make it better

[samholcombe]

I can’t wait to see LS6 vs LT5, both 405 hp and close to 400 ft-lbs, but it’ll be interesting to see how they compare in power bands.

[stephenkowalski]

Really look forward to LT5 vs LS6. As for LT4 it probably makes similar power to LS1

[kenp]

1996 LT4? I think it is worth finding one and testing it since it is the true and all-time king of the hill in the Gen 1-2 LT world.

[buildingracingvideos]

I was just starting to drive when the 2nd LT1 came out and remember that was the same year the phrase 5. Slow was created.
