Quotes of 100+ HP from freeing up airflow to & from engine are rumored
What's ridiculous is that that's worse than typical ricer claims for hp/mod, and this is true!

that would be a bastard swap. z32 doesnt take much to be quick, and they arent that difficult to work on once you've done it for quite a while. but yes ls1 > vg30, i wont argue.

doesnt look much easier to work on than a vg. i bet its fun as hell to drive though. personally i like import high end rpm power vs domestic midrange insane torque power. to each his own. a fast car is still a fast care regaurdless of where it makes its power at

People put LS1s in almost anything. I've seen a Mk4, 240sx, RWD conversion Prelude, Datsun Z cars, RX7s, Z32/33, Tacomas, Jeeps, All generations of camaros. Ls1s are the hot ---- in this area, everyone seems to have one.
