Moroso's track prep sucks, mph traps are the indicator for power. So if he's gonna say 13.7-13.9, at least give the mph traps as well.

sounds about right...I had an '03 GT with full exhaust(long tubes, xpipe, and cback), intake plenum, K&N CAI, throttle body, tune, 4.10s and shifter and I took down a couple stock LS1's.....

Yea that seems a little low but the hypertech actaully can cause knock-retard and can lose you some HP, I know it did with my 98 z28 as it dynoed higher after flashing it back to stock. Either way mach's are sick cars, what mods do you have by the way?

My self I think the Mach 1 is a bad *** car . I haven't raced one yet, but your LS1 sounds like it was slow. I ran 13.09 1/4 mile with lid and catback. anyway racing is fun and win or loose I personally have a good time. By the way what does your Mach run?

ebear ya u did get beat but dont get down, if he didnt have long tubes (which I doubt he did, prolly just an X or H pipe) then it was more a drivers race, with just a lid, cutout, and the free mods you should pull him by at least car...the 2v cars are not that slow but it just takes more with them as they have a much lower starting point(about 60-70 rwhp disadvantage stock to an LS1), also the LS1's do respond better to mods and with a couple simple inexpensive ones you should have him fairly easily

ebear - nice to see you got away from the sixer.

His 4.10s woke up that car. They run low 14s (high 13s at best) stock. With his exhaust tune and gears, he woke up that car. That combined with you being new to your car, and V8 RWPower in general added to the loss. Not to mention the T-top and weight difference. Get some seat time and go at him again.......results will be different.


BTW - the the poster that said 3rd is their weak spot......nope. At least not in a mach...they wake up in 3rd, just like the fbods....it's just not as sweat as your guys'.
