Default LS2Formula vs 98Z28CobraKiller (LosLS2)

Hey guys,

Here's a little roll race that I did on motor vs LS2Formula on motor. We actually went twice. The first one didnt get caught on video which is lucky for me cause he beat me worse. I was happy with how close it was. Also note that he had a passenger and I did not.

Enjoy it.

Nice race! What are his mods? You stayed right next to him until third, then it looked like he was starting to take off.

Auto or M6? If it was an M6, that was some quick shifting.

I have a TH350 and he has a Powerglide. Both 408's modded to the hilt. He has a bigger cam. Everything else is comparable. He has gone 10.0x on motor. My best has been a 10.86 on motor. Most of his advantage has been in the 60'. I recently added a drag bar which seems to have helped alot.

That's the problem. A little more work is swapping cams or cutting up my car (weight reduction). Not much more that I can do with the current setup.

Coming soon. We have a track rental event coming up on Dec 9. His car ran an 8.9X ET at the last one that we did and backed it up with a second pass. I only had a 200 shot plate kit then.I have since gone to direct port and matched the 400 shot so I cant wait to see how I do. I am hoping for low low 9's.

We will line up there and will likely line up before that on the street. I am going to see if we cant do it during the day so that we can get really good footage.

We have a track rental on Dec 9th at Bradenton Motorsports Park. It is closed for those with reservations to race but open to spectators. If you make it out there, come up and introduce yourself. I will likely have a "LOSLS2" sticker on my car. I believe that there will only be 2 black Z28's. The other one has a license plate that reads "BLAKLS1" and is a good buddy of mine. I'm told we look alike also but I think that's just because we are both 300+ Lb cubans.

Now I'm happy good luck at the track I hope your car dont push any water with 400shot from lifting the heads.

And daytime race will be aewsome with those too sick cars.

Keep us posted.

No coolant push. I've already run it. The trick is to not spray over 7100 RPM. We figured this out with LS2Formula's car.
