He was cut off @ 1:28 into the video when he was trying to explain that the car is good for mid sevens at 185mph. Reason being is because when you see the interior, he is not running a certified ten point cage, let alone a ten point cage period, which is mandatory at 8.50 so he is clearly holding back to avoid getting booted from the track. Killer car...
That and an old school LT-1 with a single turbo can't do 7's in the 1/4, there's just not enough power there to do it no matter how big the turbo is. That's well into the 1200+ HP range and those turbos don't make that much power to begin with. 1200hp from a LT-1 would blow it up in 2 passes even if it did make it. Also he doesn't have the cage like you said so whom ever this was that guy was full of shit.
Charlesbjtown I watched him make a pass on the street in broad daylight. Strung out high gear on the highway...fastest street car I've ever stood next to and watched go down the road.
Charles Cheatham This car is without question the most impressive truly legit street car in north America. Its been said that he's been 195 through the traps.
Nice to see another non LS powered car. As an owner of an gen 2 LT1 powered Impala SS I know the potential these motors have. The early Optispark design and location gave these engines a bad rep. Once you fix those issues, it's as good as, if not, better than any other SBC.
Boots_And_Slicks14 totally truth, I own a 97 ws6 and after 347k finally gave up. I am working on it and is coming boost it as well with the original opti just to keep proofing that it works! !!
I keep having to come back to watch this video again, this car is cool. Anyone know what trans/converter is in it? I'm guessing a th400 with a nice converter.
I get a good vibe when this guy interviews people that they are not annoyed with him. This tells me he is a real cool guy, and I respect his people skills.
SilentOneCorajuda13 -.- seriously? and when car has a blower over the bonnet? on question whats under the hood what would you asnwer? and dont take funny talk up to every letter. oh, and one thing - hatch is only a way to close/enter the trunk/boot/luggage compartement etc. (its a bit like you would say "its not an engine bay, its a hood")
SilentOneCorajuda13 i had a 77 nova its considered a notchback because the rear window doesnt open with the trunk and thatd what makes a Camaro a hatchback
I've always wanted to do something with my 95 Z28. But it is also the year between OBD1 and OBD2 which is an absolute nightmare to try and tune nowadays without taking it to a professional shop. I absolutely love the sound of the LT1 and the massive torque in first and second compared to the LS1.
I have an N/A stroker lt1 and it runs solid 11's. people are always surprised that it's so fast 'for an lt1'. People give these motors alot of shit but once you open them up, they're actually very powerful and dependable. I've have a few of them and they definitely feel and sound like old school motors. The absolute worst design flaw with them tho is the opti.
@@jonathanlawson4667 Nope I worked at a Dyno shop had my 97 LT1 had 278HP at the wheels 99 LS1 was 310HP at the wheels. Crank would be 300HP for LT1 and 350HP for LS1.
I was always told the old LT1 cant go past 450-500 but this setup is the shit! Wow I dig it. Full interior and all. 👍 Hooks up, A/C!? street car done right. Eating up the Corvette killers 😁
andrew donohue they actually they have a lot of lt1 Camaro in pick & pull, i myself pull heads & intakes on 50% off day I have several sets good luck hunting💨💨💨
i like mine i tell people its a great engine but with a poor ignition system. does not make it bad engine though. as long as you keep the stupid opti dry and you are aware of it they arent as bad as their reputation either. i replaced mine once
Leave it to GM to use the same engine name 3 times. But hey, its much better than ford who cant even use the same transmission for a big block and small block.
A lot of people judge Lt1, always about there opti spark or vacuum leaks. There good motors as any ls1.. Its much more easier to build if you are on a budget. its nice to see people still build them
I like the LT1, but neither of those statements are true. They are heavier than the LS1, the heads on LS motors are far superior as are the internals and fuel/ignition systems, and the cost of LT1-specific heads make it more expensive to build. But thats just technology progressing as time went on, you can't fault the LT1 for that. the LT1 was out of the box superior to the majority of factory stock gen 1 SBCs and you can still make good power with them. I'm going LT1 in my '88 Trans Am over LS because fitment is easier and I only want around 350whp which is easily done with a fairly aggressive cam and bolt ons with stock heads and intake on an LT1.
Where i live thats all we see is lt1 its rare to see ls1 but for us its cheaper to build and plus its much easier to work on, already doing a semi build on my formula v8 just have a cam with spring valve and rockers and headers with cai and im beating ls1 and 5.0
ElteeMullet Yes. And you can go to 396 with an LT. Still a viable option for sure. Not to mention its lot plagued with the dreaded piston slap like the ls.
I have a turbo LT1 that makes 800+ to the tire. i was out at orlando speed world for SCT this year. 1320 didn't even bat an eye. lol BK34 did an interview but never featured the car.
Still waiting on some more info on this car and driver . I know its old but it is still a bit refreshing to see someone kicking butt with a 2nd gen lt1 .
yes this is an old video ... cool that it's an lt1.. love how he downplays it an old streetcar .... as an lt1 owners there is a lot more to this car than what he's telling that's a well-sorted engineered car even though he does not have a proper roll cage
* the owner of this camaro................. he is a real racer pure blood racer...what a great man!..when u can bring too much power from an engine, 99% of the people think u cant watch this man and learn.
I have watched every video and this caught my attention. Nice job. I would slay people with this in Hawaii. Jam there little rice burners down. Keep it up. Just gives us old school guys a new idea.
1996 impala ss lt1engine manual transmission...my 1987 Pontiac firebird... The body formula 350 Exactly the kind of engine has...Just without Turbo...The atmospheric engine. I really want to turbo engine 3:)
First year of the 4th gen LT is when I turned 16. I hate that they came out with the new LT so now that my LT's are now considered the old LT or the not so old LT as compared to the original LT. Makes since I think.
1320video just a question about the rear mount does it take a lot longer to spool considering it needs to build pressure between the head to the exhaust side of the turbo??
Finally not an lsx swap. Dont be fooled i love LSx swap(I had a 3rd gen lsx swap trans am) but besides that point some people get so brain washed with LSx engine swap like they are so superior then an SBC or LT1 but they fail to realize they can make just as much power as any LSX (383 SBC vs 383 LSx will make the same power with good heads such as AFR and good custom cam....Favorite car so far. 3rd gen. 2nd Gen LT1 Turbo. Full Interior. Sub in the back. A/C. A true street car!
I have an 84 Firebird with 28k original miles that I am finishing now and I chose to swap in a 93 LT1/M29 T56. I even had a complete 6.0/Doug Nash 4+1 5spd setup. I really like sticking to the LT1, goes against the status quo. I also own a Procharged 96 SS Camaro with 34k on the clock. Might just do another LT1 swap on an 85 C10. I am actually considering selling my 6.0 setup to help fund a better build in the 84. I like being the black sheep with the LT1. They can make good power as this video proves. Underrated for sure!
+charles cheatham im just trying to help bro, why waste money on ls1 when you can build a lt1 with the money you gunna buy a ls1 with and you will be smoking them ls1 like nothing
carlos avalos true, but there are advantages to both. lot more places make ls parts, though expensive. dude up there gots a 2jz, check his burnout vid, kinda weird n awesome
One day I plan on building an M body Chrysler with a small block 340 and a rear mount turbo setup, 727 Torqueflite, and a 8 3/4 inch sure grip rear end.
More cars like this please Just guys with proven old school combos More LT1 and TPI stuff And damnit it would be cool i suppose to see some more Ford 5.4 stuff too
Wil a rear mount work on the mqb platform in particular the mk7 gti/ R . A twin turbo mk7 would be untouchable. You can go is20/is38 upfront and mount a gt35 at the rear.
I have spotted a Camaro with a rear-mount turbo in my home town (hi, gearhead on Pippin!) and nearly slipped a disk doing a double take. One day I'll see the owner outside and stop to bother.
i love both the lt1 and ls1 but for some reason i like the lt1 a little more , dont know why but i do. i am still gonna be saving up for a ls1 camaro to though.

That’s why he was leaving pretty slow, probably launching at a lower rpm
If I had never seen this. That thought would have never crossed my mind. I was wondering why he was easing it so much off the launch.
That's the Genius of sleepers, in Country !! 👍💯🏁

Making Lt1 owners proud across the country. Thank you for your service to the community.
5 years later and still wishing more info was given on this build. Dang!
This car is mad slept on. In person, it's cartoonishly fast..... it's truly wicked fast.

Jonathan Vasquez well, camaro a at least had them until 97 and the first ls powered were 98-02
So truth, 97 and on vette started with ls.
Jonathan Vasquez hello, I got a LT1 with 56,000 miles, from Pontiac firebird ws6, some of them come like that.
Never better tthan a gen 1 . They have so much support you can virtually build any combo in any cubic inch in the world and do so dirt cheap.
Coolest, most impressive combo I've seen in a while. Thanks for this video!!
I keep having to come back to watch this video again, this car is cool.
Anyone know what trans/converter is in it? I'm guessing a th400 with a nice converter.
Love the sound of an old LT1.
I get a good vibe when this guy interviews people that they are not annoyed with him. This tells me he is a real cool guy, and I respect his people skills.
-"what's under the hood?"
- "LT1. [long pause] Oh, and I have a turbo in the trunk"
sick
ElMosqito turbo ain't in the trunk. It's a hatch. Plus in the hatch is a bass tube. Turbo is behind the fuel tank. Lol

-.- seriously? and when car has a blower over the bonnet? on question whats under the hood what would you asnwer?
and dont take funny talk up to every letter.
oh, and one thing - hatch is only a way to close/enter the trunk/boot/luggage compartement etc. (its a bit like you would say "its not an engine bay, its a hood")
Its a hatchback. I have a IROC-Z. For example, there is a rear hatch that is known as a Notchback. Lets go baby. Get wit it!!
SilentOneCorajuda13 i had a 77 nova its considered a notchback because the rear window doesnt open with the trunk and thatd what makes a Camaro a hatchback
I love that this is a street/drag car with all the amenities of a street car plus more.
Nice to see a streetcar that is fast and easy to drive. Keep up the good work and the content of 1320 is outstanding
Thanks
Factory interior love it . Lt1 holding it down for the 90s
good old Lt-1 sbc & turbo & kept all the weight & accessories!!
Everybody trip'n if its an original LT1, it goes 8's. And its not an LS. Good ol sbc power.
Indeed this beast needs to be on drag week
I've always wanted to do something with my 95 Z28. But it is also the year between OBD1 and OBD2 which is an absolute nightmare to try and tune nowadays without taking it to a professional shop. I absolutely love the sound of the LT1 and the massive torque in first and second compared to the LS1.
Amazing. The rear turbo seems like a good strip application.

one of those dream combos.. love this
Long Live the LT1! I own both 97/z28 LT1 & 99/SS LS1 and even though the LS1 has more power I will always love my LT1....
LS1 didn't have more power stock they was both around the same at the crank
@@jonathanlawson4667 Nope I worked at a Dyno shop had my 97 LT1 had 278HP at the wheels 99 LS1 was 310HP at the wheels. Crank would be 300HP for LT1 and 350HP for LS1.
More about this car please
I was always told the old LT1 cant go past 450-500 but this setup is the shit! Wow I dig it. Full interior and all. 👍 Hooks up, A/C!? street car done right. Eating up the Corvette killers 😁
Now everyone is going to pick & pull to find LT1's asap💨💨💨
good luck they only made them for 5 years.
andrew donohue they actually they have a lot of lt1 Camaro in pick & pull, i myself pull heads & intakes on 50% off day I have several sets good luck hunting💨💨💨
the junkyards around had no V8 4th gens period, not one all V6 cars
twotwocold u are so right lol. fan boys are annoying i tell ya people these days are followers. Lt1 should never be slept on they are great motors !
i like mine i tell people its a great engine but with a poor ignition system. does not make it bad engine though. as long as you keep the stupid opti dry and you are aware of it they arent as bad as their reputation either. i replaced mine once
I first fell in love with the lt1 when I had my 95 Roadmaster limited, such a great motor.
Kyle Bryant I miss my 93 caprice
yes they are
Snoopy bubble bodies for life i had a 95 i miss it so much man
The original LT1 was a solid lifter 350 that came out in 1970. This is an LT1 like out of an early 4th gen f-body or C4 corvette.
Leave it to GM to use the same engine name 3 times.
But hey, its much better than ford who cant even use the same transmission for a big block and small block.
He says at 1:17 its the old one?
meaning not a current lt1 from the c7
FINALLY a third gen camaro feature🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
very awesome nice too see a lt1 strong running dependable engine
That's a sick setup.
I wanna see this guy at drag week next year!
Met him and his wife at the LTx Shootout and hotel party this year. Super nice people.
Sickest Comaro I've seen in ages.
I'm looking at c4s with the lt1 glad to know its still around
I love the street car setup on this

ElteeMullet Yes. And you can go to 396 with an LT. Still a viable option for sure. Not to mention its lot plagued with the dreaded piston slap like the ls.
I've been waiting for this LOVE!!!!!!!** LT1 S
Good looking car running a non typical set up. Got to dig that
Good old fashioned LT1 power. Hell yeah.
Is the 90's considered old fashioned now?
that T.A was liftin up the front end with all that damn power !
damn I wanted to see her take that promod
Love seeing fast 3rd gens! Interesting he went with an LT1
I still spray my lt1 with 180k running strong for now completely stock bottom end and it's my DD
How much spray?
@@poncoolride The stock system is supposed to be able to keep up with a 100-125 HP shot.

I'm doing a turbo lt1 build now are you still running the opti
I miss my 3rd gen. Still one of my favorite cars.
my first car a 93z28 had one, very strong motors
Did he wait till the black Ws6 to stop spinning just to whip his ass? Fucking awesome. Never would of guessed a 7 second car.
Mrquartermile Yea, he did. Trying to decide if he was just wanting a good race, or if he was messin with em.
That's great. I'm guessing maybe a little of both.
Mrquartermile LOL, "no nitrous". Nitrous solenoid on the firewall @1:12.
Lol I just saw that. Either way that's a big turbo!
Mrquartermile Yea, car is retarded fast. I seen it in person at the Ltx shootout, and it doesn't look real going down the track
Excellent ingenuity
Nice ! Its cool to see someone doing something with the old Lt1 lol . Who did the tune on that lil beast ?
Wondering the same
man I wish my lt1 caprice looked like that
Still waiting on some more info on this car and driver . I know its old but it is still a bit refreshing to see someone kicking butt with a 2nd gen lt1 .
1320 rules. Thats my dream car . Love ur videos.
He ate that WS6 if they were rolling he wouldn’t have stood a chance
Technically, it's not an original LT1, but rather a 2nd gen LT1. The original was a particular 350 built in 70-72.
StL ChuckO most people don't know they reuse engine codes. For example the original LSs were 454 BBCs in the 70-72 Chevelle (and Corvette IIRC)
Actually original is an LT-1
I overheard a dude in a speed shop trying to buy old LT1 valve springs, dude at the counter had never heard of them , made me wanna walk out
Lt1ftw!!!
shredBucketheadshred Christ lol you used to just about be able to get em in Kmart
that things gorgeous! niice build man!

LT1 old school...love it!
Badass setup.
When the "old" LT1 is the one from your childhood (92-97) and not the early 70's motor haha that makes me feel old.

1320video just a question about the rear mount does it take a lot longer to spool considering it needs to build pressure between the head to the exhaust side of the turbo??
Harold Lee that's a good question, I'd like to know more as well
its turbo may spool slower than a front mount, but the overall car's quality makes a great combo.. and a hell of a back half.
now thats fuckin cool, from lookin wouldnt have thought it would run a 7, looks like a street car
It is a street car. Working AC, stereo with sub etc.
that is just one bad ass hot rod!

love these camaros! definitely wouldnt have gone lt1, but it does run!
Lt1 are much easy to build on a budget mostly you see them camaro with ls1 but lt1 are good as a ls1 if you build them right
I'm sure he would listen to your opinion about what engine he should go with.
sarc?
+charles cheatham im just trying to help bro, why waste money on ls1 when you can build a lt1 with the money you gunna buy a ls1 with and you will be smoking them ls1 like nothing

Perfect car ! Ltx !!
One day I plan on building an M body Chrysler with a small block 340 and a rear mount turbo setup, 727 Torqueflite, and a 8 3/4 inch sure grip rear end.
Sweet car.
Wonder what he’s doing for an ignition setup.
I’d like to know the same. Also who tuned it.
Still has opti spark. And I'm fairly certain that he does his own tuning.
I saw the first races and thought holy hell turbo lag is real then the second round of races came and changed my mind lol
I have 2 lt1 motors in my garage I need to do something with. Both have 6 speeds. I do have a 92RS I could put one in.
More cars like this please
Just guys with proven old school combos
More LT1 and TPI stuff
And damnit it would be cool i suppose to see some more Ford 5.4 stuff too
gorgeous car

Sick little 3rd gen!! 👍👍😎
This freaking awesome!! I'm not gonna take nothing off mines then ac and all
My childhood car
I really like this car. It is special in a world full of LS based engines lol
I have spotted a Camaro with a rear-mount turbo in my home town (hi, gearhead on Pippin!) and nearly slipped a disk doing a double take. One day I'll see the owner outside and stop to bother.
So clean
lt1 putting work ...
350 small block Lt1 don't mess with a 350 they're very underated!!! 😄
i love both the lt1 and ls1 but for some reason i like the lt1 a little more , dont know why but i do. i am still gonna be saving up for a ls1 camaro to though.
Love LT1's too bad you don't see them much these days
They were the last great 350 Chevy ever made, were never available in this gen Camaro though.
Something Funny Yea, this one is a swap of course. 93-97 Camaro's had the LT1 and of coure Vettes from that era besides the 97 Vette going to the LS1
SoloCamo the aftermarket just about forgot about them.
I forgot about the LT4 that I think was only on 96 manual vettes and maybe 97 SS those were beasts.
The LS1 would like a word.
