Result of my GT VS friend LS1!

Downshift · 05-29-2002, 01:07 AM

I posted earlyer this week that a friend with a 98 LS1 Z six speed wanted to race me. Well

Not so good. We went from a roll 15 to about 120. I was so way back that it was impossible for me to count. If i was to guess i would say more than 10 cars!!

What horsepower do you think he is making at the rear weel??

His mods are a SLP induction lid, Hooker cat-back, FTRA(Ram air system) FRA (Another ram air system) and K&N.

He is a very cool guy, he did not teased me or anything. If fact he confessed that my Mustang was better looking than his Z!

How can he have two Ram air systems on the car at the same Time??

I have stock seen/heard LS1's dyno anywhere between 285-300, and sometimes up to 310+ rwhp. If he can drive, he could proably hit 13.1-ish.

Another thing to consider is their torque band. Even in the 2500rpm range they're making good torque. You would've had a much better chance going from a dead stop.

FTRA = Fast Toys Ram Air
FRA = Free Ram Air
Free Ram Air is a mod where you cut a slit out in between the radiator and the the radiator cover underneath the air lid. When this person added the Fast Toy Ram Air is just a scoop that goes under the car and pushes air into the lid of his intake. Its an alternative to real ram air through a hood. Some say its more effective also.
