a guy in my town is coming back for a military leave and his car has the following----
1994 Formula Firebird A4 2.73 rear. Go fast goodies- comp cams "XFI" , 268/276 .570 .565 lift 113 LSA
Meziere electric wp, Pacesetter LT's w/ORY, Trick Flow 195cc LT1 heads, bullet muffler (hehe), pcmforless tune, 32lb/hr inj. K&N intake, Trick Flow intake elbow MSD EVERYTHING. Now rebuilt into a 355. Still slow though. New upgrades waiting for install- Moser 9" 3.50 gears, some BMR stuff......

and my car has the mods in my sig. how should the race turn out???

 

I cant imagine why his first upgrade wouldnt be 3.73 gears or something. 2.73 are horrible stock not to mention with a cam. What stall is he running? I think he might take you with his new rear end.

 

i think he is running a 3500 stall or somewhere around there not sure tho

 

I think he may take you. He should be in the 370-390rwhp range not to mention he will have the traction advantage over you more than likely. And with a 3600 stall will probably take you off of the line. M6s are trickier to launch.

 

well i was hoping that with that stall, on the street, he would just spin outta the whole and hopefully i would have a good jump and try and hang on to the end.

i raced an lt4 trans am m6 i beat him pretty bad by about 4-5 lengths. i dont know if this makes a difference in how you think the race turns out. this guy also raced a 6.0 gto the same one i did and we both won i heard he beat him by about 4 lengths thats about how i did too.

 

You may have your hands full if he gets that new 9" installed. Sounds like he is running a pretty decent combo. If he hooks I think he will get you.

 

I'd put my money on the LT1 based on what you said.

 

Yea i would say you are toast but you never know on the street..
Its only a matter of time though before tht lemon's d-bag posts in here and says it would take a 300 shot to beat a bolton ls1

 

based on what im reading i think it will be close but him nudging me out. what will it take for me to get him. im wanting to get some 4.10s out back will this do it?? i have an underdrive pully already just not on the car i need to put that on

 

Run him from a 30-40 roll

 

A roll will definately benefit you. What do you run in the 1/4? He should be running low 12's/high 11's with what he has (with his 9" that is).

 

he doesnt have the new rearend in i dont think. with those gears of his a roll will benefit me??

just curious how will a new rearend make his car faster? i thought the whole point of getting a 12 bolt or a 9" was to prevent it from breaking??

havent had it to the track yet. i figure im in the 12's.

 

I think they are referring to the gears... I hope at least.

 

Yeah, I meant with his new gears, they will help him out and with the stronger rearend he'll be able to launch harder and with better tires with less chance of breakin ****.

 

so how did the race go?
