Use the RPO codes found on each car to determine what gears each vehicle came with from the factory:

from research the ws6 a4 should run 5.0-5.3 and 13.4's roughly . What would his 98 t/a (non ram air and flowmaster exhaust) with 2.73's run, and if it had 3.23's what would it run.?

If they both have the same gears, it's pretty much a matter of who could launch better. If they're different, whichever one's got the 3.23s has a pretty good advantage

Have him look up the RPO, then have him take it to the track, and you'll have your answer, and i know you've beentold this before, but a ls1 is a ls1 is a ls1, all models are about equal, just some are beasts and some arent,

His memory is not very good.

His attention span is pretty short as well.

And he has no clue what that 'search' button there is for.

Let it go. Let him figure it out, if he is interested enough, instead of constantly polluting the forums with this crap..
