It appears that there is an LS1 in some bodies that is at 381.
Then there is a manual transmission combo that is something like 40 horsepower less than the 381 of the same body.
Then,if it is in a Corvette,you see 350.But in a Firebird, it's 381
Are these engines all the same or are there differences?

Seems to me your real agenda is to bring attention to the cars you do compete against like the GTO with an LS1 style engine .There are now plenty of them out there and they do their best to protect their combos - something more guys ( and gals ) should have done years ago .As for the Firebirds with the 381 rating - well, they didn't do such a good job .We can also talk about the guy from Crawdad Country who is now our World Champ that can win no matter how far under he is but we'll save that for another time ! !
