Default How close will it be?

There is a guy talking a ton of **** about how ugly my 00 Z28 is and how bad he can beat me with his 87 mustang gt with a 5.sl0w.

He's running gt40x aluminum heads, e303 cam, full exhaust with tailpipes, and a powerdyne bd11a. 341 horsepower and 368 ft pounds of torque at the rear wheels.

I was wondering what the results would be if I were running 1-7/8th LT's TSP Rumbler-X and a street tune? I know his car is a lot lighter than mine, but he's not really running that much power for having heads and cam D:

Well, a Powerdyne BD-11a is a supercharger. A POS, but still a supercharger. If you only have an exhaust he is gonna romp you pretty good if he can drive.

Doesnt matter if it is shitty numbers for a supercharger heads and cam.. All that matters is the power.. With that power/tq and you having the mods you do.. After taking in consideration weight... Plus I'm sure he will be on a sticky tire (not that the outcome would be different).. He is going to walk all over you.

He says it's a 12.30 car, but I'm going to assume that's what the dyno said the car can do given the perfect situation. I'm incredibly sure he's never been down to the track, and the car is on street tires. This is the only reason why I think I stand a chance against him.

It should be a 12.30 car without the blower on it if he has any type of gear behind it.

If you have sticky tires, from a dig you win... If you are on street tires or go from a roll, you lose.

Hes alot lighter and prob making 40-50+rwhp on you. Basicly your asking how will your sounds bone stock to me z28 do against a blown 5.0 thats alot lighter with heads and cam. He will make you look foolish. IF you had lts and true duals He will still make you look foolish but not as bad as before.
