98 LS2 SS vs H/C/I Foxbody vs LS1 Z28 *vids*
Talked to a few people and a post was post up on Facebook about a meet, went out to see who all would come, considering it was like 30* out. Good turnout, except it was mostly 15-18 second cars. LS3 Grand Sport and a guy I know '12 5.0 were the fastest cars there, but my buddy hasn't really got to line up against anyone with his new car (98 SS) so we just tried to find some decent races.
Cars with mods-
98 SS- auto, LS2 swap, lid, LS1 intake manifold, longtubes, dumped Y pipe, 3.42 gears, tuned
Z28- auto, exhaust, don't know what else?
foxbody- 4 speed manual, 3.73s, edelbrock intake, trickflow heads & stage 1 cam
08 GT- 5 speed, JLT intake, Offroad X pipe,Violator mufflers, SCT tune, 4.10

looked right for that fox body. Things are slow as hell for the most part, unless it's completely gutted with steep gears and a very well thought out build. I mean, whats a normal trap for a full weight typical head/cam foxbody? 106mph?

My very very basic H/C/I 95 with the stock uncut shortblock ran 110mph with 3.08 gears. I put 3.73 gears in and didn't see much of a gain because of the shitty powerband. It was done at 5,000rpms. I had a Performer intake on it which I think was the bottle neck. Who knows... I do plan to build a notchback 5.0 sometime with a stock shortblock 302 and see how fast I can get it.

Exactly. Or 70mm on a H/C/I 302 let alone a 347? Regardless theyre stuck on cam profiles from the early 90s anyway

God other mistakes I made back then I can remember when I was n/a..
Going with Cobra EEC-lost a tenth and a MPH
Going to E cam to F-lost a tenth and MPH
24lbers on a n/a car
Porting my 65TB(see your example above lol)
Not getting my car tuned-thinking adjusting timing and fuel pressure was enough
Undergeared(ran 355s for years-then gained an easy tenth and MPH swapping to 410s)
Running GT40 crap(in the begging thats all you had though)
If I knew now when I had the car n/a I could have ran high 11s easy on motor with stock shortblock,rims and all swaybars on the car

Haha ya. Even that GT40 stuff can be made to run ok. Jay Allen did a great job w/ unported GT40 heads; ran 11.50 or so w/ a cam, maf, tb, gear, exhaust. That was back in 05 even, not sure if he kept going with it. I know his goal was 10s on stock shortblock and unported gt40 irons.
