I have an ls1 in my truck, i really like it, my mods are in my sig. It makes good mid range torque while still pulling hard to 6800, I wouldnt change a thing other then a set of stage 1 heads from texas speed. heres a little speedo clip to give you an idea of how it runs.. this is shifting at 6800.

Heres a pic of one of the rod cap bearings....pulled a few today. Gettin another stand tomorrow so I can tear it apart. From what I can tell this was indeed a low mileage motor like I was told!

Wow they still look vary good, my bottom is all stock i just put new rings, rod bearings, arp rod bolts, and an ls6 oil pump in it, mine had more mile on it and had been run kind of hard so i went ahead and rebuilt it. My heads are milled .030 so im setting at 11-1 cr but no porting on the heads. I like mine alot iv never been to big on putting stroker kits in the ls1s cause they already have a 3.62 stroke stock with a 3.9in bore witch is vary good for a race engine, unless you can go to like a 408 but you cant bore out the ls1 block so that dont leave you with much to chose from. I vote get the stage 1 ls6 head with a v2 cam package from texas speed then go with the pro flow xt or the fast 92 intake. I think that would be a good setup.
