Default Predictions anyone?

I have a 2000 SS m6 vert with a flowmaster (not catback) which sounds ok but flows like crap, ported stock tb, descreened mass air, egr mod, cooland bypass mod, k&n fipk, slp 160 stat, msd wires which I dont think matters, and a superchips power tune. I'm going up against an 03 Mach m5, and it only has a bbk o/r x pipe, k&n drop in with the air silencer removed, and welded flows. The reason I ask is because I think my vert is considerably heavier and fully loaded compared to the mach. I think if I can keep it close up til third I can win but who knows. Has anybody on here have similar mods and races like this one with a vert? Oh yeah, he's a huge **** talker too. He thinks I might just hang and he brags that he always gasses ls1's!

I don't understand how someone can be a huge **** talker with an X-pipe and an air filter. There must be a lot of stock LS1s in your area, because stock for stock the cars are about even.

And what do you mean you have a flowmaster but not a catback? You have just mufflers?

Did you read the sticky where it mentions no "What if?" threads?

What are you racing from/to? Regardless, Mach will win.

I hope you win but this thread will be closed very soon. You should get some LTs real quick as insurance.

The bench always wins in these situations. Race and post up results. Before you do that I'd recommend reading the sticky's. A lot of useful info in them.

if you are really worried and have a little spare time pull your rear seats and spare tire. That should only take like 20 mins and free up some good weight.
Also the mach1s have a better 1st and 2nd gear ratio as to where we have a better 3rd and 4th gear ratio so try to go from a 2nd gear roll from 50-55 mph but make sure you stay in it till higher speeds.

I say the Mach has a slight advantage and you'll get pulled a little bit, but nothing bad, assuming you can both drive. Post up results.

Haha, I didnt bother reading the sticky I'm new to this but I will post results. I did race this guy with my full bolt on notch with 3.73 gears and I would get him by half a car until I had to shift to 5th. My SS feels stronger from a roll than my mustang. We're going to go from a 40 roll until about 110.
