Mike has always beat every other price I have compared to his by a good margin, usually surprises me.

I found the deal I can get by accident, I called a local tune shop about tuning prices and told him I need to find a better intake first(I have the ls1)and he had a used bbk with P&P throttle body for $375, its just that guy that I raced last night got me freaked cause he said he owned it and didnt like it and he switched back to the ls6,

I also think it was all BS I even pulled up some threads from ls1tech on my phone to **** him off, thats when he came at me with the dyno sheets, kinda freaked me out a little, Im new to this game

Can a weight reduction of 250+ beat me by 7 cars, I wonder if he was lying about his mods(mid leanthheaders,ls6intake all he told me he had)

Thanks for ur info guys

Depends on the length of the race.. In a normal race (dig-90 or so, low-mid roll- 120 or so, etc) 250#s should equate to roughly 2 car lengths or .2 at the track.

It was a 25-120 mph race
and I run 13.7 he said he ran 12.50

so the extra 5 cars doesnt add up to me with just a ls6 and mid lenth headers
and im sure he had a tune sorry for the odd questions its just ive raced LT header only cars and either was next to them or lost by 1-2 cars

I dont know the full run down on either car.. I have only skimmed this thread.

If you are stock, he could be up power wise by as much as 50HP... Take that (roughly 5 lengths) and add 250 taken out (roughly 2 lengths) and you have a car thats pulling you pretty hard.

gotch thanks I kinda went off topic there lol

Thanks lemons, I guess with mid-headers and ls6 intake with a tune might be around that, I just thought he was hiding something

Well 7 lengths is a hard pull but I doubt he is hiding too much... Exhust/intake/tune ls1 with weight out VS a stock ls1, should be a pretty steady pull.

yea plus I have a 2000 Trans am ws6 and he had a 98 z28 , I have heard ws6 is heavier than z28 stock
false or true I have no idea, just what ive heard

On average it is about 125# difference IIRC.

And you already have 3.23s so stick with those gears for a good bit, plenty of other mods will give you WAY more of a gain/$.

Hey, I log in, check the thread, get a good read. I see HP numbers relevant to what I want to build, a good argument on intakes I'm considering, and some places to get some good deals. Even though it's off it's original topic, it's all relevant and making my life easier. Thank you all.
