tune/xpipe/cai/gears 5.0 vs 402 GTO. *vids* SHORT VERSION:
5.0 previously known mod list: offroad X pipe, CAI, tune, swapped to 3.73 gears and in a auto. year old mod list.
GTO: 402ci, 11.3 cr, fully ported TSP LS3 heads, ported LS3 intake, Ed C cam, 3600 stall, 3.70 gears.
Watch the mirrors, he wouldn't line up with me the first time, and second time he jumped before I could honk it off. 2nd race is up a pretty good grade hill btw. I'm thinking he modded some more since last time. Just not enough!
LONG VERSION:
Met this dude at the track a year+ ago, he had his 90lb wife driving what i assume was his blue 5.0 auto and it was pulling very respectable times of 12.1 to 12.2 @ 113-114mph out of his stock stall auto on 12.5" slicks (2200' DA).
At the time the 5.0 shock was still fresh therefore I had a hard time believing the Cobra guys on his mods: CAI, tune, 3.73 gears (he put them in), offroad X pipe. So I introduced myself and talked with him for the rest of the day.
The termi guys were seriously butt hurt over the new 5.0's, especially since his times were right at what two of the pullied/bolton cobra's were running. We never ran each other, but our times were damn near identical with me having 1-2 mph more with my L92 heads/stall/small cam previous build. Fast forward to this morning, and what face do I see in the window of the blue 5.0 next to me but his finally!
Both being older responsible types we managed to drive 25 miles encompassing 2 highways and 1 freeway in caravan together before the back and forth to see who would first break the MMOB creed wore me down first. Sorry fellas, I was no longer MMOB and wanted to show him what the stroker, gears, and traction did for my car!

Nothing in car. I deleted all of them and never got around to taking new ones. Here's pics of the motor after the build:
