I wonder is a geared (3.91) LS3 SS would pull on a 1LE?

Has anybody seen the comments on that video? Somebody posted a video of a Camaro ss bolt ons with 3.91 gears and another ss with bolt ons and cammed with stock gears. They say that changing gears or getting a cam will basically give you same results?? How true is this

That was actually me arguing with the guy in the comments. I cant see a camaro with 3.91 and bolt ons running the same times as a Cammed camaro with bolt ons. The car he raced either has a bad tune or driver. Just doesnt make sense at all.

Their was a vid a while back on ls1tech. Of a 3.91 geared full bolt on ls3 vs a cammed bolt on stock geared ls3. And it was dead even looks like gears do wonders for these cars.

What's the secret of a stock ss with 3.91 gears being faster than a stock 1le

The 1LE has the ZL1 transmission because of the 3.91 gears. The ratios are all completely different. The SS is geared more aggressively transmission wise but has the 3.45 rear end. The 1LE has more conservative ratios and the 3.91s... basically the 1LE has a closer 2nd-4th spread. The first gear ratios between the two (SS first gear is 3.07 with 3.45s, 1LE is 2.66? with 3.91s) are almost identical I believe.

An SS with the stock transmission and the 1LE gears has a much, much greater torque output advantage.

The 1LE actually has the same internal trans ratios of the Z/28, not the ZL1. 1st through 4th appear to be identical but 5th and 6th are different.
