Optic Problems?
My first Corvette, a 92 burned on the freeway. That day it had 195,000 miles with the factory Optic Spark. As you can read, I can't say nothing bad about the Optic Spark.
The LT1 puts out more power than the mighty L98. The LT4 puts out even more.

LT1!!!
Opti sucks we all no this. Its the reverse coolant flow that gets me hooked on the LT1. The ability to run high compression realiably is what I like. I run 11 to 1 no problems....The LT1 also has a better intake platform. If I am not mistaken, the stock LT1 plenum can support 500hp. These are my reasons.

Most LT1's we race are relatively stock, they don't need hardly any mods to be in the 12's.
Top-speed is another thing ... pro for the LT
