As it sits right now this thread has a better chance of staying open than you do of winning this race (and Unit don't like 'what-ifs' threads very much...)

I think he's got an 11" wide wheel, either way it looks sick.

And no, he can't launch, his last car was a a turbocoupe, big turbo, etc, 365whp and ran mid-high 13's because he just spun even on drag radials. So I always give him a hard time for that, but from a roll a lot of the driver error is gone, so we'll see.

Longtubes/ory is the first mod on my list.

He's hoping to put down 300whp with his mods, but from him telling me what similar people put down it seems like he'll be just shy, like 290-293whp is what he's been telling me for the past couple weeks.

What does a stock, besides a lid ls1 put down? I think in the same ballpark right? He'll just have the advantage of greater acceleration from the gears.

What gears do most people put in a z28? if I'm thinking around 375-400whp NA and maybe a 100shot down the road?

His car will put down more than 300rwhp. That ported intake will help him out alot and push the car over the 300 mark.

If he's hoping to put down 300 rwhp it tells me he's not tuned. So, some of his mods might actually hurt him in the power department (i.e. 3" duals). But, 4.30's are gonna be HARD to over come.
Btw, please post results.
