how bad's it gonna be?
 
It looks like i may finally get to race an LS1 car and i know im gonna lose. Question is, HOW BAD?. I have a 305TPI 87 Z28 w/ 4:10's, Auburn differential, flowmaster 80 series, cat delete, and Transgo shift kit with a Corvette Servo in my 700r4...the other car is a COMPLETELY STOCK 98' LS1 a4 Camaro. Just wondering how bad it will be...thanx in advance

Read the stickies for one, not supposed to post these topics. And to answer your question you are going to have your ass handed to you.

i kno ur not supposed to post what ifs, but this IS gonna happen in like 2-3 days and its a friend of mine. I know i will lose i was just wondering about how many lenghts it'll be

lengths, a lot. you might get him off the line with your 4.10s and 305 insta-torque but after that its over. the ls1 is just going to pull away and keep pulling. ill say 8-10 lengths.

At least that. A friend of mine has a 305 TPI car with a few mods and I ran the 1/4 mile in close to what he can the 1/8th mile in :lol:

won't even be close. been there, done that with my moderately built 350 TPI. TPI just shuts down after 4500 rpms.

JohnHF Oct 1, 2008 02:33 PM

ive raced 2 305's in my friends bone stock 98 auto mustang gt and it was about 10 lengths so im gunna say 20

bene Oct 1, 2008 02:43 PM

Ask him to give you a hit and 20 car lengths. :lol:

c4boom Oct 1, 2008 08:36 PM

well your car is about a 15 second car the l98 guys run 14.7 a ls1 fbody is about 13.3-13.4 so your looking at about a 1.7 second difference. your 1/4 mile speed should be about 91 mph so he will be about 218 feet in front of you so thats about 10-13 cars or like 4 buses.

silplu83 Oct 1, 2008 08:41 PM

Why is this in the internal engine section?

Zitty'sZ Oct 1, 2008 08:44 PM

You will probably have his license plate memorized by the end of the 1/4 . :D
