Arrow LS3/Auto vs LS1/6spd
Another round of a rivalry between a couple friends of mine.

Both cars are right around 460 RWHP.

Hard to believe the LS3 car is only around 460. It moved out there!

That ls3 is a beast. I wish I had the extra money to do that when I pulled my motor.

4000+ converter is probably eating a good 40-50 HP. His 3100 race weight helps too. I love that damn car.

Locked it made 47x on a Mustang dyno last year. (Unlocked it did 458, 448, and 455 on 3 different dynos)

He's got an SS3600 going in it though, the SS4000 didn't like the 150 shot.

Converter to loose for spray?

On motor it runs great, looks like it likes the rpms!

Both cars run awesome at the end of the day.

no way converter is eating 40+...

That is what torque does for you.

That definitely works really well with that SS4000 stall. The shift extension sounds amazing. I love that car lol.
