Default 93 z28 vs 2000z28 what would happen

I have a friend with a 2000 z28 a4, hooker catback exhaust is his only mod. he wants to race, i said ok, but my 93 Z28 a4 has only a flowmaster muffler, a hi flo cat, and all my fluids changed to royal purple,and zr1 fusion tires. Thats what he knows. But in the next week or so i will have a k&n fipk, shiftkit w/ tranny cooler, air foil, and tb bypass, cutout. How do you think it will go for me. I have 273s, he has 3 23, and cheap tires. We are going to do a 0-100mph run, and a 50 roll, what do you think my chances are

All thing being equal or close to equal the LS1 wins every single time.

a friend of mine with a 97 formula, with only a holley intake. He ran a 13.8, and beat a 1998 z28 last year by 1 carlength. i just figured that wasnt typical

cut out wont help you too much, you will probably lose unless you plan on getting lt's and a cat back yourself, even then he may still have you.

You will lose badly. The 273s are going to make it really bad. Dont bother with the 50 roll race, just race him from a dead and hope he spinsso you can jump him just to see how long it will take for him blow by you...

Your going to lose. If your car had 3:23's and you had long tubes, i would say, sure it's going to be a good race. With a good tune and catback with the LT's, you could possible be faster. Although, you don't have that.

He will beat you horribly bad from a 50 roll and unless he spins from a dig, he will start pulling you right away from there also.

You have about 260Rwhp to his 290...

Keep in mind, if your friend beat an LS1 running a 13.8, that doesn't mean his car was faster. Especially for a street race, the trap speed is more important and i bet the LS1 had a higher trap....
