Air flow meter

[Shannen Durphey]

The only car currently fitted with the LS1 in the us is the Corvette.

There are no front wheel drive cars equipped with the LS1.

Some pickup trucks have engines related to the LS1, but these engines have
different heads and/or camshafts and/or displacement than the LS1.
