Default Black Ls1 SS killed me

Went out last Saturday night about 12-1230 ish and didnt think I was going to find any fun. Well as I make a U turn to head back towards the main road my wife tells me, hey a srt4 just made a quick u turn and is coming behind us. I didnt think to much of it until as I rolled off the light he came right up my *** and let me hear his loud BOV. Ok, I was interested now. I was going to run with him down blanding blvd, but in the turn lane for the interstate were 2 Ls1 Z's.....oooh too hard to resist. So I get over and so does the srt4. We get on the interstate ( 3 lanes ) and line up. I take the far right lane, the black SS in the middle and the srt4 in the inside. We go from about 70. I *maybe* get out about 1/2 a car then the SS goes past like its nothing, the SRt4 is about 3/4 to 1 car ahead of me as well. About 130-135 I pass the SRt4, but I never got close to the LS1...
I was mainly pissed the srt4 got me as well. I thought I would have more for him. THe SS had a tag BLK2KSS, it was LOUD. The neon, sorry, SRT4, was red, loud exhaust and loud bov. My car with headers on it (before i got it) ran a 12.7, so its not the slowest LT1....CLOSE though!

Just wanted to see if anyone on here knew the black SS, I'm trying to find out what it had in it.

No way. My buddy has a 30th ta vert M6 and mine can pull harder. I've ran Ls2 goats, beat a Ws6 Ls1, granted his was an auto, and kept pretty damn close to a 03-04 Cobra that had an exhaust (close means no more than 1 car behind). The SS def had exhaust at the least. When he was revving at the light, it was cracking and popping pretty loud.

Might I say, my friend....a nice set of Pacesetters, AFR heads.....and one good bottle of ZEX will put you out front in most situations.

By the way.....you really need a tune.....bad! A good dynotune would help your lean problem.........or contact Allen @ NelsonPerformance.com to hype your pcm into muscular shape!

Thanks. I have a set of pacesetter longtubes and matching y pipe in the garage now, just waiting for me to get em on. I'm hoping with a tune and the headers to get more like 340rwhp. An I'm trying to get a 125 shot kit from a buddy of mine.

unfortunately, I'm def one of the slower cars in town Sux once you get on some boards and see all the 11sec and lower cars/trucks in your town. Went from being happy with the cars performance, to looking for ways to afford to make it go faster.

VALUE?

CHEAPEST BANG FOR THE BUCK??? VISIT NITROUS DIRECT.COM OR NITROUS OUTLET.COM OR NITROUS WHOLESALE.COM.......ALL THESE GUYS ARE SPONSORS AND THEY'LL MAKE YOU A GOOD PRICE.

IT'S BETTER TO BUY YOU A NEW KIT INSTEAD OF SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS COBBLED WITH. WITH THE SPRAY....I'D RATHER TAKE A KIT'S VIRGINITY!

NIIIICE..lol...I dont know if he'll even part with it now. I dont want anything too crazy, so a 150shot would def be my max. I'm really hoping these headers and ory wake it up a little.
