How many mods would a 2000 need to beat an ls1 with lid, cutout, tune. He said no spray so that eliminates my 150 shot. What are some good speeds to race from/to. I know for sure he has exhaust.

 

I'm pretty sure that if you have a strong LS1, he would need forced induction of some sortto stay with you from a roll. I have also seen a few people on here that have head work and cams pushing at or over 300 to the ground. If you get a guy that is geared and full bolt on, he will give you hell from a stop til about when he hits third if you don't have your convertor and then your horsepower advantage will take over. If all he has is exhaust, from a dig or from a roll he is yours quite easily IMO.

 

I don't ever have any problems with LS1s from a stop but modded ones run pretty close up top. So basically he's screwed if its from 50mph+.

 

Buddy of mine has a 2000 GT, he's only puttin down around 260rwhp/300rwt and running 12.6's.

 

 

If he has a full exhaust with long tubes, bolt ons, gears, and the car doesn't weigh a ton he's going to give you a good run. Anything less then that though and I'd say you'd have the clear advantage. I'd run him from about 20 or at highway speeds to avoid the A4's dead spots.

 

I raced a guy today that ran 11.3 @ 115mph and he didn't let out.

You ever see what a properly setup car can do? I'm guessing no...

 

suspension > power in some cases..


let me take that back..

power is needed, but if you have a bad *** setup suspension, you will have a very quick car

 

my bad i read his times wrong it was 12.79 @ 105.49 with a 1.76 60' on ET Streets, still not bad for just a lil N/A 281, dont be mad cuz he's only pushin around 260 to the wheels and pulling modified LS1 times that have more power.

[QUOTE=ivans02ss] I guess if you dont have a 346 c.i. motor you are stuck in the high 13's low 14's

 

[QUOTE=ivans02ss]I personally have run in the 12's with my 02 Auto GT with just bolt-ons and dragradials, so its not impossible.

I've seen a manual tranny GT (pre-05) with bolt ons only (slicks and skinnies too) pull both front wheels. Granted, they didn't come up much...but he hung 'em. Pretty damned impressive if you ask me.

 

It's the setup and driver mod that gets ya, not the Dyno numbers. A lot of folks with more power have found that out the hard way up here.
