Who would win? I have a buddy of mine who wants to run me from a 10mph roll. He thinks has me covered by bus lengths and thinks my car overall cant touch his old school combo. I think otherwise of course….
He has 89 Formula Firebird With a 383 SR Which consist of 10.5:1 static comp, old school ported canfield heads, 1.5 non rr, Holley 750DP, Long Tube headers, Th350 trans with a 3500 converter and 3.73 gears and Drag Radials
My car is 94 Z28 355HR 11.5:1 comp, AI 215 heads,ported intake, 1.6RR, Full Exaust, M6, 4.10 gears, Et streets, No back seats or ac of any kind.
Honestly, I think it will be a close race but for some reason I think I can take him. Your thoughts?

, but depends on your driving and shifting skills since all he has to do is stomp on the go pedal 
Only one way to find out! 
If you can drive I think he will have a hard time reading your license plate.
I don't even understand why anyone thinks this could be close. He has a full point less compression, with non-roller rockers the cam can't be all that aggressive, outdated heads, Oh small displacement advantage. Maybe he has a weight advantage but even at that if you can row you will walk away.

My 3rd gen camaro weighed around 3300lbs IIRC. He's an auto, most likely lighter and you're a manual. If his **** is put together right I think he'll get you off the line and you'll have to play catch up.

My vote is the LT1 will win!

You don't mention your cam, have you had yours at the track or on a dyno? I think his setup sounds like a low 12 second car, yours with an appropriate cam could be mid 11s, from a 10 roll or dig on the street I think you play catchup and by 3rd gear you've got him. The longer the race the farther you'll pull ahead.
