IMHO, the LT5 quite a bit more than a LT1 with a big blower.
Yup, the Magnuson Camaro made 1153rwhp (so far) with 416ci LT1 and a TVS2650.. through an 8-spd automatic. VERY impressive.. despite the blower sticking through the hood

Yes gunner has a slightly modded lt4. Yes the lt5 is very similar to the lt4 but with a bigger blower and a few other minor differences, and yes those are both tweaked supercharged versions of the lt1 (with forged internals, etc).
Even gm says word for word the lt4 is 'based' on the LT1:

For clarification, I just meant further down the line in the LT evolution as the aftermarket starts to roll, I could see mark possibly even wanting to get his hands on this upgraded blower and collaborate on a custom engine build rather than going full crate lt5.
Carry on
