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?

 

Dude, if you don't out run him I'd be pissed off. Unless your car is some overweight pig with 500lbs of stereo equipment in the back you should beat him.

Why not race from a dead stop?

 

Naw it doesnt have any stereo equip in it. We both dont like the idea of racing from a stop since we both have the stock 10 bolt and dont want to screw it up, so we said about 30mph to be safe.

 

I highly encourage you to take it to the track.

 

Too many unknown variables. Why not take it to the track to get real #'s?

 

i agree with taking it to the track

 

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.

 

show me a cammed ls1 car running 10's

 

I don't think it will happen.

 

ya cam and spray!!!

 

im sure with cam and spray. But i highly doubt it with just cam. BTW, the guy i will race is not spraying.

 

you will win!!

 

I wish my confidence was as high as urs, his TA just sounds so effin badass with those dumps. Does anyone suggest a good way of driving mine to be able to pull away from him? From a 30mph roll.

 

Ask and ye shall receive:

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.
