Newbie here, one question
I currently own an 05' STi and am going to be purchasing a slightly used C5. I have no experience with LS1s. I need to know about how much horsepower and torque the C5 can get with basic bolts ons. I dont know the "basics" for LS1 mods, but Im assuming cams, headers, full exhaust, intake? And about how much will all that put on the dyno (torque and horsepower). And about what quarter mile will that produce. Thank you.

There's only one cam, but depending on how aggressive you get it....with full bolt on's you'd see 400+ at wheels...even more with a set of AFR heads that match the cam. As you know the modding never ends though. After you get the power...you have to get it to the ground...suspension, DR's and many more. Launching a high hp rwd car is a whole different ball game then your sti.

A c5 and a z28 both have the same power except the c5 has a better induction and exhaust. 01 and 02 ls1's came with more power because of the ls6 intake. A c5 ZO6 comes 405hp. Which is basically an LS1 with better heads, cam, induction, and exhaust.

I take my 2000 Trans Am, LS1, WS6, Ram Air to the local track on Friday nights. There are two STI's who run there and I race them all the time. I have to admit that their 60 feet time is better than mine but after 60 feet, they see nothing but my tail lights. The STI has no top end.

Yep...hence the name of the thread.. LS1 Newbie...all I know is that it was a Z28 with dual exhausts and fatter tires. I have a catless exhaust and intake elbow.

Thanks for your post...Im pretty sure it was an lt1 then. Heck, it could have been auto for all I know. I plan on trading for a vette within 2 years.
P.S. How would a stock C5 compare to an lt1 top end? Im guessing it would demolish it.
