Actually the ls1 can take a healthy shot.. It's the tuning that everyone skims on.. What I like about my setup is I do not have to run more than a 100 shot.. My plan is to only run a 75 shot and do some weight reduction.. That puts me well over 500rwhp/650rwtq.. Any more than that and I will not be able to put it to the ground.. I am not building a drag setup.. Just something for insurance.. My engine can take a 200 shot with ease.. I could probably getaway with a 300 shot with a progressive controller, but whats the point.. I am not trying to be the fastest on the street.. If I was I would strip my car and run a 150 shot plus.. I like my car the way it is.. All the creature comforts.
