Don't forget he has at least 15hp over you because 01-02's had the LS6 intake manifold, so sounds like your car runs pretty strong. Was the SS an A4 or M6?

Why is that surprising? An LS1 is an LS1. It should have been a close race...The LS6 intake doesn't really make a huge difference until you start going pretty fast. Even then, the healthier car wins.

Yea it does have an ls6 intake over you but you have a SLIGHTLY more of a radical cam so its still a drivers race....

From what I've seen the 01-02's dyno around 10-15 more to the wheels than the pre 01's. However, his being an A4 and yours being an M6 could easily make up for that and then some from a roll. Good race, you'll get him next time!
