Having driven and drag raced an '10 SS, the cars are noticeably quicker on the top end. Once we figure out how to tune them to get past the mediocre 1st gear, they will do much better. Even when powershifted (no throttle lift) the computer still shuts the throttle body down to 27% after each gear upshift. At least the 4th gens were cable operated throttle bodies, and you could keep them at WOT 100% for an entire pass.
Also, don't rule out the LS3. It LOVES mods. 500 rwhp with heads/cam/headers no problem. Can't do that reliably with an LS1, especially if drivability is a concern.

So even if you have the pedal to the floor after 1st gear, it is actually not even close to wide open?
