Default should i run him?????

A buddy of mine has a 94 Z28 with flowmaster, gutted cats, cold air, and ory m6 w/3.42 's and claims to be slaughtering 98+ LS1 fbods. With my mods can i take him? Is this even possible for him to be kicking @ss like this?

You should mop the floor with him....As long as you can hook from a dig. If you go from a roll only go from 20mph anywere else will be a dead spot.

No sweat unless he is hiding like said before. Also see if he will let you look in the spare tire area, air bag, and up front for a bottle.

LT1s require more than a slowmaster to wax ls1s unless he is racing ppl that have no clue how to drive.

I've ran into LT1 owners that think that engine is god. Yes its a great midrange torquey engine but those tend to run out of breath at higher engine speeds which leaves you passing him in the end. Get a good launch and send him home.

I think you have it backwards. I have run into more LS1 guys with a chip on there shoulder.
