c7 LT1 puts down 407 rwhp with NPP and manual trans

[mcsoul]

Well I thought this was interesting because of the possibility that this engine
could make it to the 1LE some day.

Do you think the 2015 SS will get the LT1?

On a side note, has anyone taken their 2014 1LE to the 1/4 mile track yet?

Took my 1le to the 1/4 mile an 12.8 at 111mph, with 500miles on the ticker.

My 1LE showed 410.9 HP at the wheels on a Dynapak machine. I think these HP dyno meters are variable at best.

Stock with the Goodyears? Have a time slip?

My 1LE is performing exactly like my '11 LS3 SS. I am sure I would take a new LT1 under my hood in a second. Besides the HP, a big bump in torque. Let's not hold our breath for a LT1 in the Gen5 Camaro. Chevrolet has spent big bucks in Camaro Performance development over the past few years.

But, as I understand it GM can make only so many LS7s per year. So what if the very expensive Z/28 does not sell very well. Could GM offer the leftover LS7 capacity as a $10,000 1LE option at the end of the 5th gen run?

Hmmm, I would have to trade in my 1LE and explain to my wife yet again why this has to be done.

Make mine a Red Rock 1SS with NPP, BA, Recaros, and the LS7.

I'm happy with my Red Hot 1LE but those Red Rock pics posted yesterday looked sweet. I wouldn't have been able to swing an LS7 when I got mine so I wouldn't be able to trade for one. An LS7 or an LT1 would make a great engine for the 1LE but after the Z/28 I think we've seen everything performance wise for the fifth gen. GM certainly answered a lot of prayers with what has been offered so we should all be pretty happy.

Cool.

That would put you on top of the current 1LE Fast List if you post your slip to confirm it.

Great run. Best 60' and ET so far. If you want to be on the Camaro fast list look here:

Read the 1st post and it tells you how to get on the list. And I would rotate your slip 90 degrees.

That makes 2 stock 1LEs in the 12s that we know of. Anyone else?

Thanks

The LS3 like the LS7 have carb certs through 2015. I would expect the LT1 to be available in the 2016 Camaro when the Gen 6 is introduced.

Nice 12.88 run!
