There was never a Formula with an LS1. The only years in which formulas were made had the LT1. Maybe he raced an LT1 ( but he said it was a 98 then it had to be an LS1) I dont know then????. I dont know, I couldnt watch the video.

it is a kit that allows to the use an automatic transmission like a manual, but clutchless, kinda like a paddle shift. It makes the shifts more direct and firm aswell.

They made LS1 formulas through 2002. That car was a v6 3.8 liter 200hp firebird.
If it was a 1998 Ls1 formula you couldve have heard it in the video even with stock exhaust. I can see why people can mix up a regular v6 firebird and a formula firebird they look identical on the outside.
