Its crazy, my friends A6, C6 Corvette gets 29-30 mpg on the highway and he has a heads and cam pakage on his and it puts down 470rwhp. Thats even with romping on it a couple times.

is it true that with the 6spd LS1.. you are only at like 1500 rpms at 80 mph?
6th gear is absolutely useless for anything other than saving gas on the highway and fifth isn't far behind.
1-4 are the only "usable" gears.

the both have 6 gears right
Same thing with the GTO cody...it has 400 hp. That would help in 5th...but it is still an overdrive gear.
With enough HP 5th would be "usable"...but 6th is a no go...that gear just screams "gas milage"

Well, if it makes any of the LS1 lovers happy, I'm bout to put the Cobalt building on hold for now cause of her being my daily driver and me needing MUCH MUCH more power. lol...AND......I'm putting an LS1 into my 93 S10 Blazer. MUAHAHA!! My local speed shop guru talked me into building a pretty nasty sort sleeper 4 door 2wd S10 blazer. We looking at at least 11's all day with a mildly built LS1 and on the fence about a Turbo addition too. I'm pretty excited to say the least
