Default 5 car beat down?

I have a '96 LT1 and I have raced a couple of LS1's and I have beat them. Well, there's a guy that wants to race me and he claims that he does 350rwhp and 400+rwtq. He wants to race and he says he will beat me by 5 cars. I've never dynoed my car so i don't know what i'm putting down. I have full exhaust, 3:73 and CAI. Were both automatic. What do ya think the results will be???

Depends on his build and if he has a built tranny with a stall. IDK too many things to factor in. A five car lead is possible since your probably not even putting 300 at the wheels. But who knows, do it and post up in the kill section. (my car dynoed 236rwhp and I've suprised an evo or two.) Any thing can happen on the street.

Shoot, if I lived a lil closer than 6hrs I'd be down to race this 350rwhp car you speak of, mine made 356rwhp and 400rwtq, but took a cam to do it, but these LT cars run pretty well for not putting up huge HP numbers.

I think your gonna get yanked about 5 cars if its a roll race from 10 or 15mph. If it's from a dig I would say 2 or 3 if you both of you get a good start.

If he is putting down 350 to the wheels through a stalled auto, and you are also an auto with just exhaust/gears/cai without a stall he will destroy you

So its a TPI motor ? If their is even a whiff of it being a LSx motor you better steer clear of the race. It will definitely hurt feelings.

If it is a 350 RWHP third gen, you are prolly fakked, my 89 is 3300LBS and if his is anything like it you will be raped if he can move from a dig(i can).

Good luck man!!! Make sure you post the vid!

just to give you an idea of where he could be i had a 91 camaro 350 tpi that dynoed about 260 whp and 360 rwtq.that car ran 13.4 @103 so if he is @350 rwhp in a tpi it will probably be a mid to low 12 car.
