Re: LT1 compared to L79
Pure Stock Drags last month.
Thomas Payne's '66 Chevy II, L-79 4 speed, 4.56 gears. 13.145 @ 107.50 And YES, I'd love to see an L-79/LT-1 match-up on the track. Both are killer engines with a slight nod to the LT-1 strictly due to CI.

My gut tells me a full-boogie LT-1 Nova will be coming down the pipe soon... Payne's '66 = 3,066 pounds Simpson's '70 = 3,466 pounds

Re: LT1 compared to L79
I think comparing ANY car that races at the PURE STOCK events is not a part of the real word, 9 second hemi's, 10 second L-88 vettes, come on. Ron....

Wrong event...you're thinking of the F.A.S.T. series [Factory Appearing Stock Tires], we're talking about P.S.M.C.D.R. cars [Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race]...2 entirely different racing series!
