95 Trans Am vs. 98 Trans Am-both modded
Everyone,
a good friend of mine has challenged me to a race, from a roll of about 30mph. He has a 98 Trans Am LS1 with these mods- LS6 intake, Hooker long tubes, SLP air induction, duals that dump at the axle, Nitrous pistons, (not sprayed), 6 speed with hurst shifter, 4.10 gears, his heads are stock also. Hes got a fairly large cam in it as well, don't know the specs. Both cars have street tires. Seeing my mods in the sig, Will I outrun him with my A4? Any good technique that would increase my distance from him?

Cammed LS1s can hit 10s. I'd personally either do it on the street up to 100, or if LSx man needs to show his über topend pull take it to the track.
I bet it's a close race. With him winning on the extreme high end and you down low. So the lower the start the better off you'll be. Especially with the stalled auto.

Check out these BOLT ON ONLY #s:
The top one on the list is the LS1 BOLT ON RECORD HOLDER.

The LS1 heads are VERY VERY VERY good from the factory. As you can see it doesn't even take a cam to get to the LOW 11s and in one dudes case (the bolt on record holder) 10s. So add a cam into that list and yeah.
LS1 as much as I hate to say it is FAR superior to the LT1. But, I will NEVER trade up. I am die-hard LT1. But I am not ignorant to their power.
