What is Ls1?
1.
The most powerful engine there is. It is extremely underated, and can produce massive amounts of power.
people think the Earth spins because of gravitational forces..etely wrong......there is an LS1 in the core of the planet that is causing the spin....a few have been put in space to move the planets around the sun too

A V8 built by General Motors. Ricers call it old-fashioned because it is a pushrod engine, however, they completely ignore the coil-per-cylinder distributorless ignition, plastic intake manifold, and aluminum block and cylinder head.
This engine was found in all Corvettes built from 1997 to 2001, and in all 2004 Pontiac GTOs.
It has evn higher performing variants, like the LS6 which features a more aggressive camshaft profile and higher flowing ports, the LS2 which displaces 6.0L and has displacement on demand, and the LS7 which is 7.0L in size and features CNC ported cylindr heads.
The LS1 is featured in many high performance vehicles by General Motors.

The LS1 was an evolution of the earlier LT small-block V8 but shares little other than similar displacement and external dimensions. It is an all-aluminum 5.7 L (5665 cc) pushrod engine and produces between 305 and 350 hp (228 to 261 kW) and 375 ft·lbf (508 N·m) of torque, depending on the application. Beginning in 2001, the LS1 received the higher-flowing intake from the LS6, and a smaller camshaft to keep power at the same level; this also allowed GM to remove the EGR system. The block is very similar to that of the higher-output LS6; beginning in 2002, some LS1 engines were actually built using the LS6 block instead. The LS1 was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 1998.

Common excuses made by those slain by the mighty LS1 include (but are not limited to):
-I (losing car) have better hp/liter
-I (losing car) get better gas mileage
-It's an unfair race because you (LS1 owner) have more displacement***
-It's to hot for turbos
-I'm running pump gas, so I can only run 10 psi.
-If I had
-I had a boost leak.
-Blow off valve (
-Clutch was slipping
***Note: I did not make you buy a car with a smaller engine, so don't bitch about it.
I thought my giant wing and primered body kit would be enough for the LS1. Boy, was I wrong.
I am a stupid ricer so I make fun of the LS1 for having pushrods even though it makes 3 times the power of my DOHC civic.
An LSX motor is like having King Kong under your hood, once you floor it, it goes ape shit.
God didn't rest on the 8th day, he simply sat and listened to a cammed LS1 with open headers idle all day.

A GM motor that was used from 1997-2004. Was very underrated at the factory, and stock, had about 350-360hp.
The LS1 is an AMAZING motor, in that it takes to very slight modifications well, and if taken car of, lasts a VERY long time.
It has been known to make around 900-1000hp with forced induction, and a few supporting modifications.
Man, my car has an LS1 which is said by some to be superior to the LS2!
