Re: LT-1 Torque Info
I've always felt that engine HP/Torque ratings were over exaggerated somewhat back then.
According to a GM Confidential 1970 Chevrolet Engine Power Curves Test Report done on March 16,1970 by Chevrolet in Warren Mich.,the LT-1 350/360,11/1 Comp. engine had a Maximum GROSS rating Torque of 379 @ 4000RPM,and a GROSS rating 359HP @ 6000RPM.
1970 NET ratings were Maximum Torque of 325 @ 4000RPM & 295HP @ 5000RPM.
The 1971 LT-1 11/1 Comp.engine figures showed a NET of 275HP @ 5000RPM,with Maximum Torque of 300 @4000RPM,but it never saw production.
