I can tell you the precise instant it happened; the moment I became obsessed with the LS1. My sister pulled up in a beautiful Sebring Silver Z28 that she was test driving. While I wasn't too sure about the newly restyled front end, I agreed to test drive it for her. As a devout EFI car guy, I never believed the new LS 1 engine could measure up to the LT1-powered Z28, which had been serving as my current project. I will never forget (nor will my sister, I'm sure) the • test drive we took in that six-speed Camaro.

From that early spring day in 1998, I became increasingly fascinated by the LS 1. I just couldn't wrap my mind around the power made by a brand-new car that was completely bone stock—not a single modification. The following summer, that very same Z28 changed hands and took up residence in my garage. Never one to leave well enough alone, I delved right in to the modification of my new-age performer. In the years that followed, I studied every nuance of the engine in pursuit of maximizing its potential. This book is the culmination of all I've learned about the LS1. I hope you fmd it helpful in your own pursuit of power. —Chris Endres
