91 bird vs s2000 and 92 camaro
I have a 91 bird with a rebuilt 4bolt 355 casting 088 "vortec truck block 96+"
cam is a comp xtreme energy .503/.510 224/230 112lsa, a set of ported 305 vortecs, performer rpm airgap intake, hedman lt headers to a true dual 2.5" system, no cats or emmision equipment dumped before the axle with turbo mufflers. stock rear for now 2.73 non posi tranny is a 700r4 rebuilt with all the goodies shift kit boost valves anti yoyo kit all that. fuddle racing 10" 3500stall torque converter w/lock up and anti ballooning plate. and crap all season tires "came with the car when i bought it i did the engine trans and exhaust after i got it"
the s2000 is stock from what i know may have a cai and exhaust never met this person before a friend on another forum just said she was looking for a race and asked me if she could join me and the guy with the camaro since we had set up a race.
the 92 camaro is a friend of mines has a tpi 383 not tuned dual exhaust all the way back not dumped kyb gr2 shocks same rear stock stall and trans bfg tires.

Too many variables on the 383, the S2000 shouldn't be a problem from a dig, even with those terrible 2.73 gears you should have a strong holeshot with that much converter, if the tires will take it. From a roll the s2000 is a lot easier to be fast with, from the dig its not often launched right and bogs out of the hole. I'd think your combo would run basement 14's no problem, 13's easy w/ traction and 3.73's.
The 383 could really be a dog or a beast, without a tune, its probably less than ideal, but it could be anything.

the s2000 i dont think i will have a problem with the 383 i have never run he posts a bunch of kill stories but no one in the club has ever run him so this will be the proof of his ability. win or loose i enjoyed spending all the time on it and my motor total was only $700 so im not expecting to much from it. this was my budget build just to get a dying 305 replaced. i spent all the real money on parts that can go on a stronger motor ie my trans verter exhaust intake all that.
