Modded Camaro SS can't live up to ETs?

KPonti. (Which I assume stands for Killer Pontiac...Or something Pontiac. Could be wrong.)

When I built my 289, I didnt leave the stock 289 heads with there stock flow numbers, I did alittle porting here and there. She's taken out LT-1's before. But not quick enough for the LS-1's. Well not yet.

I've never raced a SS in my 2000 GT yet, dont really plan on it till I get my gears, and am alittle more comfortable with my launching ability.

One of my friends that posts here, Tim C, has wittnessed first hand that a 99+ GT, can take on a LS-1 powered F-body. Hell, he has the same mods as me except he has 4:10's in his car, and hes beaten a Moddified LS-1 FireBird infront of a butt load of us.

As for the Stock small block Ford heads, Unit made a very good point, one that I obviuosly didnt consider before posting. I ment that once you start changing simple things like Intakes and Cams, the heads are holding you back.

Actually, I retract that statement. Consider the power gained using stock cam and intake but changing to a set of Good aftermarket heads on a small block Ford. Kinda makes you wonder.

Pardon me if my post isnt written to well, I've had a few beers, and havent eaten since 2:00 (Its now 12 hours later.)

Feeling kinda good at the moment..
