Actually, you have extensive mods by most reckoning. Head porting is the most serious thing.
Huh... I never really thought it to be extensive myself. The porting was obviously the most time consuming part, but all that was done was taking away material that Toyota put there, nothing too crazy. I mean, the guy who did it for me knows how to shape a cylinder to match your desired engine behavior, but still. Didn't seem like a big deal to me.
Only other mods I did, I did in the Home Depot I worked at at the time.

im pritty sure the rating of BHP for an 01 SS should be 320 BHP, only f-bodies to be rated 335 were the firehawks from 2000-2002 early...if it was an auto those hp numbers are about right, those 4L60E were notorious for robbing horsepower. but if you had the T-56 6 speed then something was definetly not right.
Mine was a T56, and it came (when I bought it at least) with the SLP exhaust, supposedly good for an extra 15hp (according to SLP anyway).
I agree on the auto cars being kinda sluggish, at least in stockish form. They must have had terrible gearing, every time I raced one, once I shifted to 4th, it seems like they always dropped about 3 cars back instantly. Powerband, what's that? :nono:
Was definitely a quick car though, so I'm leaning toward my car just wasn't feeling that good that day. We were also a little over 2000' elevation in Phoenix.

I would build Gen 1 GM power any day before I touch LSX. But that's just me.
My only thing with the old GM v8's is the vast majority of them are heavy as shit, and I like turning every bit as much as going fast, so unless we're talking an old ZL1 engine... gimme an LS series.

Perhaps he is referring to an LSX punched out to 434cid. As far as t66 it doesn't ring any bells. If we are talking about transmissions then maybe he meant t56.
Think T66
turbo.
