00' GT vs. Catfish
Did a few rolls with my buddy in his Camaro. Unfortunately, the road was pretty gravely and difficult to get traction on. I was still pretty happy with how close our 2nd 3rd gear pull was.

Even with the 4.10s, 30mph is a little out of the powerband for the Mustang too. With the LS1's broader range, it doesn't suffer nearly as much from dropping out of the proper rpms.

OP, if you did "full bolt ons" you might give him a run if he only has very minor weight treduction. When my 04 gt was full bolt ons it made 270 rwhp, with a 3.90 gear and 5-speed it would usually hang right there with a bone stock LS1 f-body...drivers race at that point really

Yes full long tube exhaust, gears, tune, udp's, cai, bigger TB/plenum, aluminum driveshaft. Plus it was a no options gt...no abs, no traction control, base stereo, cloth seats, etc...was a tad lighter than most new edge gt's. Actually I remember watching a bone stock LS1 SS (6-speed) running 13.4's at 104 at the track, compared to my 13.2 at 106 on that day.

Yeah, it was a dynojet. I'm guessing that if it was done w/ SAE corrections it would have been right around 260/300. They were equal-length shorties (a smidgen better than unequal?) , and I'm guessing it was untuned because just taking the heat shield off the CAI was enough to throw a lean code.
Edit: Mine was an early-'01, so it still had the T45. If yours was a 3650 that would explain a little of the difference, because my understanding is that the 3650 sucks a little more power than the T45.
