WTF? 235? Im sisters Infinit is 255!

235 is stock with 345 for torque. and pulled on a LS1 SS? Yeah right.

Tell him he's going to need a little more than a runner change to beat a LS1.

For whatever reason, I can't get that page to load up. The thing about L98's is they are torque monsters. I have a friend with an 89 IROC with a heads/cam/intake 355 that ran high 12's untuned and dyno'd shy of 300 rwhp, but had OVER 400ft.lbs at the wheels. They are quick, but they run out of steam up top.

That's nothing I smoke, LS6 Vettes with my L03 88 camaro! TBI BABY! T-B-I!

And as for the Ugly *** vette, It must belong to some 17 year old daddy's boy who wanted to show it off to his honda friends at school! "Look, I got A wing too! Accept me into your elite group!"
