Weaker LS1s
I remember reading that some of the LS1s were weaker than other years. Which years are weaker and what is that makes them weak? Power from the factory or the ability to stand up to mods?

There are no weak LS1's. There are some minor differences between years but nothing that would classify them as weaker. My '98 would be one of the weaker ones. It only dynoed 302 rwhp with a lid and filter.

the 01-02 are slightly stronger with the LS6 intake and slightly revised cam. maybe 7-8 rwhp difference. otherwise, they are all teh same. 298-305 rwhp stock.

The newer the faster, my 00 firebird dynoed 308, my 01 dynoed 325...both bone stock, back 2 back on the same day. 00 Firebird 13.4@105, 01'Camaro 12.9@109....again, bone stock on the same day. Got rid of the Firebird once I realized it had a half second 5mph disadvantage that it had to make up for. 01 Camaro with lid, mass air, nitto's=12.6@112.

That's one thing that sucks about GM. They have some freak cars putting down awesome numbers from the factory but yet some dyno really low. I guess GM went with the "wednesday built" idea on the freak ones.

the range in ls1 power output is due to the different intake manifolds and cams. the newer ones dont have an egr either.
