Guy I go to school with spent twenty minutes informing me how much better the LT1 was than any LS1 and how he would walk all over me with his stock LT1 Caprice. Mysteriously nobody has ever seen this car...

Another Marine in Afghanaland was tinkering with POS broke down Gator 4x4, he said he was gonna shave the cam lobes down so the valves would open more.... I just gave my usual **** eatin grin and told him he was gonna have the fastest Gator on Camp Leatherneck.

You can actually grind a cam for lift. You can have the closed portion(the base circle) ground down. I don't think people suggest it because it can get into the softer portion of the cam. Not sure if that's what he meant. I wouldn't even be surprised if a gator was a 2 stroke. Lol

Oh, and he claimed a 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds......
