It really did. I know it wasn't good for the verter being a single disk, but it was definitely effective. I almost posted that run we did instead to show how well it works. Let me know when you want to run man, I'd love to get a before and after comparison.

I've been winning more then losing against more heavily modded LS1 fbodies every since I got my Goat so your personal opinion is off base.
Raced alot of GTO's, too, and mine isn't out of the norm. Maybe your neck of the woods has more then it's normal share of clueless GTO owners?
Far as big stall converters go, most stalled cars don't lock up there converters at WOT because it's brutal on the lockup clutch and WILL wear it out/break it sooner or later. Without that lockup ability, a stalled car is gonna have less top end then a stock stall car.
For mine, my stall is done helping at around 5200rpm and from that point on the converter is hurting my performance. Period, no arguing or internet bullshitting is gonna make that change. I verified that with a friend of mine: 70-120 races it was nearly 2 car difference. didn't dig race, but I'm sure I more then made up for that if we went from a dig or low roll.
Now I don't know if your stall is big enough to have a noticeable impact on top speed but I assume it has to be similar to a 3600.

I did 12.5 @ 111 mph with 3.73s, lcas, tire, and a tune(stock stall, manifolds, y pipe, catback!). 2002 z28 auto
I raced a cam/fast intake/full exhaust 6 speed ls2 6.0 gto that made 420 whp and he did 12.6 @ 115 mph.
The GTO is simply NO COMPARISON for the F body mod for mod, end of story.

Too late to reason with him, he made up his mind after watching some youtube videos and nothing will change it.

I think its safe to say that an LS2 GTO and an LS1 F-Body are pretty evenly matched mod for mod. Just look at the vid. The LS1 GTO is obviously a little behind mod for mod, for obvious reasons. No need to over think it too much, any car can be faster or slower than the next for a million different reasons.

Agreed. I once was on a kill streak of ls1 fbodies when I was LT/cai/catback/tune and ran my mouth to a group of guys on lsxnation and had one of them beat me from every speed I could think of with the same mods in his Z28 that i had in my GTO. Then I beat two other guys in that group who had more mods then me.

Was a maf issues that I bandaided with a switch from vavaram to svede cai (allowed me to rev to 6,100 with power instead of 5,200rpm)
After this race I did the full bios reprogram that was needed to fix the maf amperage issues and it revs to 7200 with full power finally.

I'd trade my f-body in a heartbeat for a GTO. Regardless of which one is easier to go faster in, the GTO is twice the car an F-Body is when it comes to comfort, build quality, etc. JMO of course.
