Heads/Cam 5.0 vs. Stock LT1
I was out cruising with a few friends yesterday and I was trying to line up against my friend's mild bolt-on 2002 GT, but it wasn't in the cards (it will happen as we're both up for it). I ended up lining up against my friend's 5.0 LX hatch. The car is a 5-speed with a heads/cam package. Nothing crazy, but much more power than stock (never dynoed, but it runs with or just ahead of my other friend's stock LS1 SS).
We lined up at about 30 mph and I honked it off (he had one passenger). We punched it and he spun a bit and I pulled away pretty hard. He said that he bobbled second gear, but around 80 mph he walked past me. He didn't destroy me, but there was no question that he was pulling harder. Probably had about a car on me by 100 mph.
It was a good race. A loss so it's incentive to mod, but close enough so it's not discouraging. Afterword he told me that he never raced an LT1 was was suprised at how hard my car pulled.

Nice runs bro.
My brother has 5.0L with heads/cam/3.73's/ boltons and it runs good. He has run a 13.6 @ 104.xx with a 2.3 60'. He has a very mild heads/cam package (edelbrock 6037 castings and an E303 cam).

Nice job! Cam,gears,headers,cold air,exhaust,afpr and a tune and he will be in for a shock
When my LX was heads(GT40s),cam(E and F) and intake(Cobra extrude honed) I could run low 13s high 12s at 107-111MPH on street radials.-
