I called out a guy with a 87-93 5.0 convertible. He's apparently got a new 317ci motor with at least a 200 shot. He ran 11.42 @ 116 on his stock block/cam with a 125 shot, but now he's got a new shortblock, bigger heads, and a 200 shot. So i'd surmise he's 10s @ 120-130 range... Anyhow, I'm calling him out from a roll on the street due to the fact he's got drag suspension and I'm on a stock rear end and gearing. So if I do a 30-50ish roll, what do I need to win? I got a 99 convertible Z28. Right now I think I'm about 120-122 trap. I got stock longblock, SLP air lid, LS6 intake, ported TB, custom tune, LT's, ORY, borla catback, NOS wet kit (150 pills). I'm getting the g5x3 cam kit installed before I race him in the spring. That should get me near 125 I'd imagine. Do you think I can get him with that or should I hold off till I get a nice set of AFR cylinder heads? Or just do a 200 shot? Pros and cons of each pathway to success. Thanks.

edit: just talked to my tuner, he doesn't think the guy will do more than 122 with a 317 and 200 shot.

sounds like he is serious about drag racing. I assume he has some gears i say go from a 120+ roll so he runs out of gear.jk. wait for the heads and cam.

Squale sucks.

haha waddup kills. And I'm going to be doing 125+ with the cam I'm told. So if I go ahead and throw some AFR 205s into the mix I think I'll be alright ****, it's just money right?

Speed Kills, why the hell did they ban me off CSS for calling dude's wife "dead SexAay"??? That's weak sauce bro haha.

From a roll all of that 60' goes out the window. I don't think he'll have the top end I've got....but we shall see! The videos will be badass tho I guarantee that.

Id get the heads and bump the nitrous up just a little. No problem then

Do you know what kinda motor he has? how much power hes puttin to the wheels? Roll racing and strip are like comparing apples and oranges 2 different things and cant really compare the two. If he has a sick suspension setup you might beat him now, but I would think with the cam you should take him from a roll

From a dig he will beat me. He's gonna be 10s if he can drive. I dunno how much power he's going to be making or what kind of motor he's got now...I doubt he'd tell me if I asked. But ya I was thinking of upping my shot..but the way I see it if I just do heads/cam and stick with the 150 and I should be hitting 130 or damn near it... That should be plenty with my 3.42's to beat him on a highway run. It is true though my nitrous 302 was quick to 120mph... But if I can get the kick I don't think he'll catch me.

Save money, get the cam and a set of L92's...then bury him.

I'm new to the whole LSX thing...what makes L92s better than the AFR 205s?

Up the shot, cam it, 4.10 it, tune it. You win! I want half.

I'm willing to bet that cam with some AFR 205's or TSP 5.3 SII's will get the job done with your existing 150shot.

ZMONSTER!

Will L92's even bolt onto a 346? I didnt think so, but I know very little about gen 4 stuff.

i think you'll take him with your current setup and the cam no problem.

How's 4.10s gonna help me from a roll? And I am already tuned (obviously the tune will get redone after my cam and heads (if I decided to do heads too).
