**** handed to....ME???

I'm on 128 and this guy in a green z like mine is next to me so he shows off and rips a patch...naturally I'm curious so I do the same---Anyways we get to a stretch where it is straight and pin it. He just blows by me like nothing---I couldn't even catch up!! So I get next to him and say what are you running? He tells me it's stock minus the gutted cat, hooker exhaust, and moroso cold air!! It does not sound like he has a stock camaro and he is the guy NOYZee was talking about in gloucester if you read the mustangchusetts post.. So now I am pissed at how crappy my car runs!! I don't believe for a second that a cold air intake and catback exhaust would make him walk over me... I need some real power any suggestions?? I'm working on headers and cold air but I think I need more I am a little disgusted in the LT1 as far as prices for parts....Not to make myself sound any more but I only shifted at 5000 and did not bury the throttle but he still should not have spanked me..

If you didn't even have it floored, how do you know how far off you are? If he really beat you down, then he probably has more work into it than he was admitting to.

Maybe he has a freak Z. Have you ever ran your car at the track. Also your car is basically stock. The throttle body won't do much on a stock motor. Flowmaster flows pretty crappy too or so I hear. CAI and better exaust will open things. LT1 are way to restricted out the factory. You'll definetely feel a SOTP difference with just a CAI.

uh, next time you should try actually putting the pedal to the floor, and shifting just past peak hp.
