Did you guys provide the cars or did B-S buy them at reduced cost or what?

Re: SLP involvement
Scott - So did the LS1 F-bodies selectively get the truck cam and some get the vette cam ? Why were so many 4th gen LS1 cars putting down in some cases up to 320 hp at the rear wheels , the majority were at least 300 to the wheels , and then there were a few that actually only put down rear wheel figures that would better corrolate with a 305 hp crank rating ? IT would be interesting to here about
Cuz , you guys obviously knew from SS's to a reg. Formula ....they were making more and in some cases ALOT more than their 305-320( a few 345 hp cars ) advertised hp figures .

EVERY car had at LEAST 325 hp. (you could say we 'lied' the good way........!!!)
