Unfortunately you're going to need a lot of help on this one. With equal drivers stock vs. stock an LS1 is going to beat a GT every time. They're not that great out of the hole but they have a ton of top end and are capable of running very low 13s stock vs. high-13s low-14s stock for your GT. When I used to race them with my '00 GT when it was stock I could beat them to 60 sometimes if I got a good launch but they would pass me before the end of the 1/4.

The only 'sure' way to beat one is with sticky tires and a power adder like nitrous or a supercharger. If you went the bolt-on route you need just about every bolt-on plus cams, a tune, gears and tires.

Also, when you race him do it on the track.
