LSAT > UGPA, but you have to do REALLY REALLY OMG REALLY well.

Sadly this is true. I'm a similar story. Extremely sub-par UGPA at a state university, but 98th percentile LSAT. In the pre-law world people like me are referred to as splitters and high LSAT/low UGPA splitters are infinitely better off than low LSAT/high UGPA splitters.
However, it is important to note that you CANNOT absolutely count on getting a uber-high LSAT no matter how well you do. As you may have noticed the grading on the LSAT is a percentile grade and its based on a huge curve (120-180; with the top/bottom 10 points representing 0-5% & 95-100%). The point is that your grade is based on a comparison to how well all other test takers did on that specifc exam given throughout the nation on that weekend.
