98 Trans Am Times??? @LOOK@
My friend owns a 1998 Trans Am LS1 with Lid, Catback exhaust, and headers. The 98 LS1 runs the 1/4 in I believe 13.9-14.0 stock. He says low 13's to high 12's which seems fast to me. What has been your experience with these cars and engines? What could he expect to see out of it. I don't know much about v8's being a import guy myself

yeah first off...i don't know where you get 13.9-14.0 NOBODY runs those times unless they are in the mountains...and g-tech don't give to great of a measurement but i suppose it's better than nothing...just take it to the track!!...you'd be greatly suprised by the ls1 engine...many people underate trans ams and camaro's especially...they just think they are so so cars...similar to mustang gt's...when they actually destroy them...maybe it is because the camaro comes with a v6 and people will race those and think they beat the big dawg....btw that's comparing a 16.0 to a 13.5 haha

your buddy should be able to run at least mid 13's bone stock with those mods id say good driving could net 12's for him. i dont know where you heard 13.9-14.0 you must read to many Motor Trends

yeap ive heard of many of these cases.. one ran 12.89.
i had air lid, and cutout, and otherwise bone stock auto, stock stall gear ect... no headers at the time and ran 12.80. on a hot day too. now i have a ls6 intake on my car stock since its an 2002 ofcourse, but i imagine headers will make up for him just having the standard 98 ls1 intake. i say its possible for 12's and a definite for 13.10's
