A silver LS1 Camaro SS comes flying by racing another LS1 camaro. When he passes me he down shifts and slows down. First mistake. We roll from about 60. Second mistake. I should had pulled it down a gear. So he gets the jump of about a car length. At about 125 he was almost 2.5-3 car length ahead. I've beat Ram Air LS1 TAs 6spd at the track. But my car needs some street racing power. Help.

MPH is what counts from a roll.

96 is good for an LT1, but stock LS1's trap better. Also, you have no idea what the guy had.

You need more power. That's the bottom line. It's up to you to decide how
you want to make it.
