LT1 vs. LT1 Well, raced my brother today.
His mods and car:
96 Formula. OEM ram air (gutted), 3.23s, Pacesetter LTs--->flowmaster catback, drag radials
My mods and car:
97 Trans Am. OEM ram air, 3.42s, 3200 stall, tune, street tires
How should this have turned out?

Yep, I pulled HARD at first and we stayed even til 70 and then he pulled HARD and we were about even at the 1/4 mark and he kept flying past me. Easily trapping 2mph faster.

I'll get vids if I can get him to run again. I myself don't want to do another run, as it's pretty far out of the way and kind of a production. I'm not about to lose my car/license over a video!

He did win on top. We did a quick roll before the race and with his AC on we were even, but we didn't get up to a very high speed.
I judged 1/4 mile by around 100mph on my speedo.
I'm not saying I should have won, I just wanted to see some responses. I lost. He was pulling hard on me and he was a car or so ahead of me when I let off. which was just over 100mph.
Next time, I'm going to run with the cutout open too. That might help a tad.

I have the better gearing. Negligible, but better.
