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?

I think your car should take him pretty easily from a roll. It would be much closer from a dead stop depending on how your car hooks being an M6.

Does the firebird have much weight reduction? I think you could probably take him if it's not stripped down, 3rd gen formulas can be light though , 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 He has a full point less compression, with non-roller rockers the cam can't be all that aggressive, outdated heads, Oh small displacement advantage.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 friend owns a AP1 S2000, full bolt ons on his car, independent rear suspension, and a little weight reduction... Feather light. My car back when all it had was a drop in K&N filter, still got him off the line and really walked off on the 2-3 shift...
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.

Cam is a 242/248-585/580 on a 110LSA @0.50

Not the most parking lot friendly cam but I've just about got tuning done. Not soggy at all at the bottom and screams up top.
