Are the 98's slower than the 99-02?

Guys, you're forgetting about your sea level elevation. Some of the fastest times will be here in the south which from like fifty to just a few hundred feet above sea level. If you're higher up, your times will be higher, too.
I've never been to the track, but I want to go at least once to see what I can run.

I have 98 and look at my best trap I'm on stock cam with no tune yet. There are some differences but i don't think that its a big deal at all. Once the modding starts the playing field starts to level out quick.

I tried to break it on that launch and got my best time ever.....lol I have broken it before when I had 4.30's I definitely don't recommend launching hard often on the 10 bolt, that's for sure.

my 98 with bolt ons and a mail order went 12.7 @ 111 with 0 weight out of the car.
Back to the ecu issue, if you ever go FI 97-98 are limited to a 2 bar sd stune, meaning you can only go to 14.7 psi.
If you go 99-02 you can go 3 bar.
There are ways of changing to a newer ecu or using a standalone. neither are that easy, or cheap.
Good luck.

My 98 went 13.48 2.07 60 foot and trapped 104.5 with a lid and a system in the back. No way in hell a 98 is any slower. I've got 2.73's as well. Put a LS6 intake on and did 13.26 at 106 yesterday.
No one has said it yet but we 98er's get a working temp. gauge as well.
