Default First kill in my LS1

Me and my g/f was going to a local street racing spot on sunday. Soon as I arrived a guy and his buddy in a LT1 camaro asks to race. I turned to my g/f and she said yes. I was 100% stock down to the lid at the time. So race 1 from a dig LT1 m6 mods exhaust the rest unknown. So we line up I honk 3 time he is 1 1/2 car ahead in first, second still 1 car **** can't catch up...90mph damn 1 lose for me. Crap I hate loosing, racing again the opposite way he honks 3 time I jumped 2 car ahead 0-110 got him by about 4 cars YEA. He pulls on side of me asked to go again so I do. He honks 3 time I jumped 2 car again my g/f is in my ear "go baby go yea", he can't catch up. 2 for me 1 for him. While i'm turn around he is waiting for me again wanting to go again I said no you got lucky the first time and you won't beat me any more. And at that time i'm smelling brunt clutch so I called it quits. That was my first race in my LS1.

yeah, my brother & i have the cars in my sig, i'm 100% stock and he's got CAI, 4.10's, & tuning, and i still beat him. of course, he let off for a second to let me back into the right-hand lane cause a car was coming way up the road, but i was still pulling, & i would have continued to pull the faster we went, due to his gears.

i want to run him again tho, now that he has better tires, and without him letting off at all

First, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I am;

LT1's don't have more power down low. They just get to the peak TQ before the LS1. How-ever the LS1 still has higher TQ number all the way through the powerband. This I witnessed a few times on a dynojet. It just feels like it has more power down low.
