It all depends on the launch. If he gets it right you'll loose.

 

damn those are nice hp/tq #'s for stock

 

I had an '85 Camaro IROCZ with the HO 190 (way underrated) engine and 5 speed. I own a couple of "S's." His old pushrod has too much torque for you to take him...if he can drive it. The only way you can beat him is if he burns so much rubber that he's standing in one spot and you launch perfectly, you might take him in the 1/4. Otherwise...fugetaboutit!

 

I agree with everyone else - if he gets a crap launch (I have a feeling this kid has no idea what he's doing, so i'd almost expect that to happen) you can take him. Although your headers and intake might give you the needed edge if his k&n stuff doesn't add to much to his car.

 

i dont think his hi end can match my vtec w/ h/i

 

I say it's gonna be close but if your running like a long distance(on a road) and you think you got him DON'T lift cause that LT1 motor will pull on the CL HARD

 

Camaro has the edge but it'll end up being the driver's race

 

definitely drivers run

 

my friend has a bone stock 97 formula with factory 3.53 posi 4AT...when we line up i get the jump and slowly start pulling on him all gears ...there peak numbers are high but there curve isnt that great
