Default LT1 kill in my L98

I have an 1991 Camaro Z28 with an L98 bored .060 over with 3.73 gears, hedman longtube headers, ported plenum, flowmaster exhaust w/o cats, and SLP cai.

Well anyways I was just driving along looking for races on a Saturday night when I hear someone squeel their tires at the next light. It turns out to be an automatic LT1 z28 with atleast exhaust. So I get up beside him and revv it up, and he just looks at me. So I play around w/ him a lil bit by doing some half throttle fly-bys just to make him think im really slow. So finally when I don't expect it he just guns it from about a 35 mph roll and he got about half a car on me before I hit it. I caught up to him about 55 mph and put about 2 cars on him at 85mph. I am guessing 2 cars I didn't actually measure it

We get to the next light and I start to roll my window down to ask him what he has done, and he flips on his turn signal, turns right and gets his **** all sideways and just takes off. Either way, it was a fun race. I need to get some tires and try some races from a dig against LS1's. Oh by the way I ran 8.896 in the 1/8 mile @ 79.43 mph with a 2.015 60' time.

With is mods he could take a stock auto LT1, those L98's can be pretty quick but still they are limited by the TPI system.

well with those mods he's got with his third gen puts him right about where good running stock lt1's run for speed in the 1/8 mile i usually run about 78-80 with my car.

nice kill though way to represent l98's i guess the lt1 guy got a little hurt when he got beat by an l98 same way the ls1 guys act when they get beat by a lt1 there's always someone faster i dont know why people have to turn into little bitches when they get beat whether i win or lose i like to bs afterwords of course i make that easier because im not one to run his mouth before a race or anything so it makes it easier to bs afterwords oh well too bad the guy was a douche

Oh yeah another "mod" I have is aluminum heads because my motor came out of a 1991 corvette. Seemed to me the L98's weren't worth a **** until 1989-1990. The guy I bought the car from ran a 14.4 at 96 mph with just a set of aftermarket rims and some Kumho tires. Most of the LT1's I see at the 1/8 mile track are running 9.00-9.2, and the Ls1's are running 8.6-9.00's.

Exactly, if you asked any other person they would say that there is no way your 305 ran a 14.4. They would quote a website and say 15.2 at the lowest. I have been around 3rd gens for a long time and I know what they can and can't do. Oh and if my stupid rant confused you, I believe you

For example when I raced a 1996 auto mustang GT w/ exhaust, he thought his car ran better times from the factory. Then I raced him and destroyed him pretty bad, third gens get no respect because of all the junk Carb'd 305's trying to race people.
