HELLLLLLLLLLO. I drive a 02 T/a (auto)pretty much stock with SLP LID, and Magnaflow catback. I was cruisin and saw a 90 ish Mustang, I pulled up next to him doing about 60 . Anyways we caught a redlight an he asks if I'd do a 20 roll once on the highway, I agreed. Once at 20 I put the car in 1st. As soon as I did he started to honk...beeeeeep...beeeeep. beeep an were off, I was even with him untill around 85 then he slowly started pulling ( i had the t tops down mind you), we raced to 120 an by the end of the race he had 2-3 cars on me. He said it was a 5.0 w/ Heads,Cam,3 73s, and it looked to only have two seats in the car. Does this sound right ? Or should he have beaten me by more? I think it was a good first race, what do you guys think?

 

Sounds like a mild h/c/i setup, in which case the results are about right. Good run

 

Sounds about right! Probably a stock piston H/C/I 5.0

Don't worry, it wont take much from your car to put him in the rearview mirror.

 

cool death bye a H/C/I 5.0 against a bone stock LS1

 

Yea. I was excited cause it was my first race in my new car, but sad because I lost to a stang! Oh well at least I lost to a domestic. How would I have done with having the t tops on ?

 

those damn 5.0 cars are hell for not just LS1's but anybody out there! losing to one with those mods is a respectable loss! the T-tops on would have helped maybe a 1/2 car maybe?

 

With my full exhaust and Ported T/B how close would it be ? Im getting the exhuast done pretty soon, And im ordering a T/b from someone on this site. Oh I forgot to add that my car has a SLP performance sticker inside the engine bay.. im not sure how much its good for, but im assuming at least 10-15 hp ??

 

Its always fun to get the first one out of the way. Now there will me millions more lol Nice death

 

yes that sounds right he probably had all the boltons full intake, full exhaust, heads, cam, no a/c and somewhat gutted. So i would be proud if i was you if you know what i am saying.

 

Why does it need to be "no a/c and somewhat gutted?" A 300-320rwhp foxbody with 3.73s should have no trouble dispatching a stock automatic LS1.

 

um...yea probably right

 

Any clue what gears you have man? 2:73 or 3:23

 

Ummm. Im thinkin 2 73s. Idk how can i check to see ? I shift outa first around 57 if that helps

 

gator unless its a b4c (if im correct the auto has 2:73s) if its b4c it has 3:23s i think someone correct me if im wrong please

 

Sounds like a fun first race. You hung pretty well down low for how light he is, but it doesn't take much power in those things to get em movin out because of the major weight advantage; plus you said he had the rear seats out, so he may have had even more weight reduction that you couldn't see.

I would think with the full exhaust (LTs, ORY or hi-flow cats), you'll hang much better to the end, but if you have the 2.73s, those are what's killing you. Even going from 2.73s to 3.42s without the full exhaust would probably put you close to him or next to him. Those 2.73s are HORRIBLE for any race, dig or roll. Do the exhaust and gears and you'll take him. (hope he doesn't have a bottle hooked up )

 

are you manually shifting your auto......because you know you will never out shift your auto tranny

 

That time i did manually shift it. But usually i just drop it in 3rd.

 

b4c???

 

b4c is a camaro not t/a (sorry didnt read 1st post too well) that chevrolet made for the police forces if im correct and they came with aluminum driveshaft upgraded suspension some more goodies like 3:23s (i hope im correct and not making an idiot out of myself) but they left out alot of the interior things to make the car lighter

 

If it's a true WS6 you have 3.23 on an auto.
