My L98 vs LT1
A guy I know has been talking how his LT1 will smoke my L98, so I thought I would get your guys opinion.
Me: 2.77s posi, k&n filter, B&M shift kit, Hooker Headers, Edelbrock exhaust, custom burned chip, 160 t-stat, and 1.6 roller rockers.
Him: Bone Stock LT1, 6 speed, stock gears (what did they come with?).

Re: My L98 vs LT1
6 speeds come with 342s stock. As long as his car is in good running order he should beat you. You never said what his car was, but im assuming 93-97 camaro or trans am.

Re: My L98 vs LT1
with those 2.77s he has you!
my 88 iroc had a 5.7 headers(hooker shorties),2.5" y-pipe,slp muffler,3.27s,5spd conv.,pulley's,on bfg 285/40/17 radials i ran 13.7@104
my lt1 in avitar has a catless 2.5"y-pipe,3.42s,m6 and runs 14.2@100 on the c6s and 13.86@101 with stocks all this at 2700'.
you will need a 2600stall,3.42s to run beat him

Re: My L98 vs LT1
Didn't stocks LT1s come anywhere with 275 - 310hp depending on Z28 or SS
and I know if sorta off topic , but I'm just wondering cuz I know a guy with a stock 96 LT1 6 speed around here and I was wondering how my car would stand against one, which its a LB9, mods are in the sig.

Re: My L98 vs LT1
93's generally were stronger than the 94-95 cars. Speed density vs. MAF. All 3 years were rated at 275hp though. 285 for 96-97 and 305 for 96-97 SS and WS6 cars.
Also, 93's had either 2.73 or 3.23 gears for both M6 and A4 cars. Different T56's for either gears. 94+ cars got 3.42 gears and 2.66 1st gear T56.
My WS6 pulled 2.0 short times the only time I had it to the track completely bone stock. TPI cars are about the same. Torque on a LT1 is a nice, flat line that kept pulling.
Going to be extremely hard to beat an LT1 with 2.77 gears. If he can't drive that well, then it will be a great race.

Re: My L98 vs LT1
my 88 IROC ran 14.7 / a 2.0 60FT with the 2.77s in it.
Had SLP headers, and a 2800 stall converter.

my car with 2800 stall and exhaust went 13.89 at 97-98 with street tires on a 1.89 60 foot. 3.27's i could barely do better...13.88 on a 1.93 60 foot.

Re: My L98 vs LT1
i wouldnt say that..those gears arent that bad. especially with 3.06 first gear in the auto trans. short powerband of TPI, those gears match fairly well. TPI has enough torque to power thru those highway gears
