) then you might have problems with it... I raced a Vortech blown Mach 1 when I was stock, and I was even with him down the 1/4th at the track (ran a 13.0 ay 108.8), so...

Like I said though... the Mach that I ran at the track, he said he put down just shy of 410whp, and he got a better launch than I did, and I reeled em in when I was stock... I know 400whp isn't anything to sneeze at, just saying it'll probably be a driver's race...

A stock LS1 vs a supercharged GT? Im not a big fan of the GT's by any means but if the GT can't pull on you, there is a serious problem. Unless it is a poor tune and he is only running 2 psi then it would be close, but besides that, a grandma driving could probably still take the LS1. You should run him for ***** and giggles anyway, unless its going to build his ego up too much...

Yes i would have to agree about the GT loosing since my brother raced a GT with a blower in his stock 1995 vette and beat it. Although his car was a bit of a freak at the time ran 13.06 @ 105 still shouldnt be a prob for u though.
