I Need An LS1 Lesson!
Well, i've been spending a lot more time in the tech section lately, and I feel very comfy with some sreas of the car's design, but am spotty in some as well...particularly cams, heads,and anything on the inside of the engine.
Does anyone have a good link to learn about the LS1? Please don't just say read ls1.com. I'm looking for some articles which are written to learn the essentials and to get me up to date on understanding the mods available for different areas in about 30 minutes of reading.
Thanks in advance :cheers:

Go to Borders Books and get the book "LS1/LS6 The Corvette engine. and it will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about these motors and each and every part of it ie function/fit and results of most Mods.

David,
Great content in the article you linked to, but I had a real hard time reading the white text on the cornsilk background... I had to tilt the monitor several times as I scrolled just to get the text readable. Don't know if you did the web page design/coding, but if you didn't you might want to pass that on to whomever did. Thanks! :cheers:

I can't seem to find this ISBN# anywhere, and when I do a search on the title, I get a couple different possibilities, none of which appear to be specifically about the LS1/LS6 engine. Am I missing something? Is the "Corvette Chronicle" a series or something?
Thanks.
