I've had my SS about 2 months now and have had 2 runs I thought I would share
First off, a little about my car: 98 Camaro SS, automatic, bone stock except a KN filter. A good friend of mine has a 99 Lightning with a CAI, flowmasters, SCT tune, and some kind of lowering springs. We met up a couple of weeks ago and ran twice. Race 1 from a dig was VERY close. He outlaunched me and was a length or two ahead till about 65-70 when I pulled even and I nosed ahead by 100 when we shut down. 2nd race was from a 60 roll (his idea) and after the 3rd honk I steadily walked him all the way to 120-130. I had him by maybe 2-3 cars.
Over the weekend I raced a kid with an 05 SRT. Very nice looking Orange Blast painted car that was tastefully modded with a BOV, wastegate, intake, and a short throw. We wanted to from a dig, but the usual "spot" has been compromised so we went from a roll twice. 1st was a 50 and from the start he pulled a 1/2 car and stayed there until we let off somewhere around 130 mph. 2nd run was from 40 and my car didnt down shift:mj: (still learning the car) and he had me by about 3-4 cars till 90-100 when I quit. Good runs, and I am please with the performance of my stock LS1. Putting an SLP lid on today, and ordering some LT's-ypipe-catback soon. After those mods I have some races lined up with a 99 Cobra, and a heavily modded 01 GT.
