Default Trans am VS SS question

Ok i want to know some opinions here. I have a 99 T/A with 3.73's, free mods, lid,dr's and 175 lbs removed. It ran 8.32 at 86mph before juice. Now i have a 100shot on it. The SS has stock exhaust,stock radials,a mild cam, a 2800 stall a lid. Will this be a fairly close race?

You are M6 I assume, it should be a close race off the bottle with the SS but it would most likely pull ahead by a hair. Does the SS have a LS6 intake(2001-2002)??? With slicks and that stall, the SS could hit 7.8-7.9 posssibly. With the 100 shot on the TA would put it mid 7's if you pop the bottle from the line.

No he doesnt have the ls6 intake. His car is a 98. Mine is an m6 but i kinda tend to bog even with a 3500 launch sliping the clutch so i dont want to hit the juice off the line and nitrous backfire. The thing i think may hurt him the most is stock manifolds with the cam.

Stock manifolds including the LS1 manifold will kill his power production up high. You should win I would think. As long as you can hit a 1.9-2.0 60' so he doesn't get a jump on you. Plus you have tires, that is what is going to make you win at even the best of tracks.

That should be good enough, he's on street tires right?
