Cam only LS1 vs 2012 5.0 Well while I was out tonight a friend of mine called and asked if I wanted to race a 5.0 and I said sure and he told me about the car. He said it was stock as far as he knew. So I drove over the mall parking lot where we met up at and I talked to the guy and I asked how he wanted to run. He said it doesn't matter so I said 40 roll then and he said ok. Well we go to the 4 lane road and get side by side at 40. Well my horn doesn't work and he evidently didn't know the 3 beep idea anyway because he just took off after a second or so of being in low gear but anyway once I see hes reacted I kick mine we're side by side for the second I'm in 2nd gear, I hit 3rd and pull a car instantly and then creep another by the top of 3rd and I hit 4th and let off. We did this twice and same story. He said it himself if we had kept going I would have walked away from him.

High i'm Ohio. If that 5.0 wouldn't have had a passenger it would have been a whole different story.. You do realize that a stock 5.0 will trap 112-115mph right? 
Oh ****! What just happened? I felt like I was possed for a second!!
J/king ohio.. lol

I think it was about right, having a passenger will make a difference as well. The 5.0 having the first hit is hard to make up quickly. I think with no passenger in the camaro and going at the same time it would've been a much better win for the OP. Did the 5.0 have the 3.73's?. Either way good kill OP.

Just making sure everyone on here knows the true power of a tuned only L99. Wicked 320rwhp@4000lbs. Runs 10s with just that guys tune. Even works on LS1s but the power bump is so high the LS1 will actually fly out of the car.

Really, that's the best you can do? Great compliment
...and again...really? Pretty sure a bolt on a4 will rock a new coyote. Add a cam and it's obviously murder.
Nope, just cam only. You see in the ls scene, guys don't just slap in a cam without the supporting mods. We're silly like that...

Not really but ok..LAst full bolt on Fbody I seen run a stock 5.0 lost over and over at the track. Both on street tires. But never know. I know from aexperiance a full bolt on 02 Ta don't hang at all with a bolt on 5.0. We had a thread that covered that about a year ago. Put a bunch cars on him me spinning. They was buddies. Both averaged 12.7 or above.

I'm UD pulley less and still on the stock MAF not that it would have helped any lol but other than that I think I've got all the bolt ons lol. I'm not sure what gear he had. My car made 343 on a Dyno Dynamics dyno and from what I've read is about 12 percent lower than a dynojet which would put me at 384rwhp.

The whole point of saying stuff like that is so you don't have to run down all the mods you have. It works because those modding the cars generally have enough sense to do the supporting mods for the cam first. It's rare to find a ls1 with a cam and no headers/lid/exhaust/etc.
I still don't say it that way if I'm not talking to people who are familiar enough with the cars to get it though. That being said, this is a lsx site so it's understood here.
LS1 cars usually are described as: bolt on, full bolt on, cam only, head/cam. Some people also go beyond to head/cam/intake if they have a Fast/vic jr/some other intake which is notably superior to the ls6 intake.
