It had the Rudy package. Remember how the LT1 Caprices/Impalas varied by up to 30hp from the factory? Some were cut better than others. . .

The factory limited slips wear out after a while. I know someone w/ a SS and now it's a peg legger.

Depends on how the tolerances stacked up. Some vehicles just flat run stronger than other identical vehicles. I've seen TBI trucks leave the factory with fuel pressure in a 9-14 psi range!

They put forced induction on the Ford, and a worthless cam, some heads, and left the compression the same on the Chevy. Wasnt really a fair comparison so far as Im concerned.
I could really care less who won though. Id take the 454SS regardless.
