FWIW, it ounds like you out drove this guy for the kill. Congrats. Im sure you embarrassed him pretty good.

As for a SC'd LT1 trapping 105 mph? Sounds like a tuning or a traction issue. I trap 104mph stock in my 97 SS. Something is off there. Not doubting you, I wasnt there. A SC'd LT1 should trap around 115mph. The stock compression ratio on theese motors is 10.5:1, so they dont respond well if they arent tuned correctly. There is alot to it. Sounds like this guy has a "untouchable attitudes". Doesnt do the fbody name any good.

BTW, I havent seen a SC'd run in person, only on mpegs or video. I have seen 3 LS1's run. I saw a guy run a 12.2 spinning though 330' and almost into the eighth before pedalling and hooking.

For stock LT1 dyno numbers, most Z/28's put down anywhere from 250 rwhp up to 265. Once again, in my SS I laid down 282 rwhp stock. Thats not bad for an LT1. A SC'd should toss down in the upper 300's (close to 385-400) with a bigger fuel pump and ignition.

Be happy you can drive. It will get you many surprise victories. Keep the mods comin to make sure you can back it up too.
