Question 00 Ws6 Vs. 02 Ss

well, a friend and i both own fbodys and we both love to race em. of course since we are guys, we like to race each other to see whos car is better. most of the times when we race, he beats me, but there have been times where i have beat him. we may start off side by side, but for some reason, he always ends up leavin me during and after every gear. but its like he wins 90% of them and i only win 10%. well his SS is a factory SLP SS. the only things he has done to his camaro are pulley,k&n filter and magnaflow muffler. my question is what do i have to do so i can finally beat him without struggling to hold on. my mods are slp lid, k&n filter, cutout, and flowmaster muffler. lately ive been having trouble with my tranny but im gettin that fixed pretty soon. any suggestions? any advise will help, and will be greatly appreciated. TIA

His car also has the LS6 intake, 98-00 fbody's didnt come with that. That could also be a reason he pulls you most of the time.

If you get 3.73 gears you wont have any problem against him. Best part is it doesnt cost near as much as Heads/cam or a turbo lol.

b/c in reality weight, engines, drag, responsiveness to mods can all make a difference, he doesn't run away from you so it's no big deal

Trans Am's weigh a little more than Camaros.

And 01-02 Cars usually make more power than the 98-00 years.

Get an SLP dual dual catback or Hooker, swap for an LS6 intake and port your throttle body. Glad to see you have a torque converter on your list. Yank it, and get off quicker!
