WOW. you guys are quick on comments. Mainly all I can say is two cars have nearly the same mods. The reason that I was ultra slow on shifting was, I already did the fast shifting pulls and it was even worse for him, so wanted to take it easy on him.

Exact mods on both cars are

Camaro:
-Exhaust
-CAI
-Fast 102
-NW 102
-Tune
5.0:
-Tune
-CAI
-Exhaust

Both cars are M6.

Surprising for how slow the 5th gen was shifting.

When you say "exhaust" be a little more specific please.

Catback, headers, xpipe etc?

Is there even a gain at all going with a fast 102 on a LS3 car? Definitely not an advantage going with a 102 TB on a otherwise stock LS3 TB also. IMO that's a waste of money. Your money though, so spent it how you want.

A ported LS3 intake will match or beat a ported FAST 102 any day of the week FYI. stock for stock is close, too. FAST is stuck pushing there FAST truck intake as the best power maker, but it won't fit under any stock hood. Hell, even trucks need to mod to fit it. GM nailed it big time with the LS3 heads and intake. Just needs a cam to really wake it up!

Thanks man! It was 2011 with 3.73

So a more modded car vs a less modded car. Cool
You got that right. Not by far tho...

Yes like I said it in previously, I did a fast shifting pull w/him and it was even worse, so I decided to shift SUPER SLOW to make things interesting. Result was the same however. They both have full exhaust.

Well I am just playing around with the car. TB and Fast 102 dont cost that much so thats not a big deal.

Camaro has a pretty aggressive H/C setup right now and will be on bottle in a month...after that who knows

must have been a pretty bad driver in the 5.0. You pulled him like you have 10+mph on him.

Honestly, looks like a V6 Mustang. Not that I dont believe you, it just looks like it!

It has to be the slowest 5.0 with boltons

I have seen cars lose power on the dyno after bolting on a fast 102. Some as much as 15 hp.

so u went w the fast in anticipation for the H/C setup? nothing wrong w that..doesnt look like it lost too much in that race..different combinations respond differently..I think its very feasible that u just hit a good combo

an ls3 ss is a lot better match for the 5.0 than most would like to believe. but the 5.0 will eat an l99 alive though.
