full bolt ons and tune well driven can hang with one that isnt super well driven.

a magic stick cam would definately have u winning this race.

unless you consider nitrous or a supercharger a bolt on...your not gonna win...your going to definitly need a magic stick cam to even stay close.

for a c5 ls1, you'll need full exhuast, cai, and tune. for a z28, same as the c5, but also a cam and that should do it.

i just read your sig. oh yeah, that cam should pretty much do it. the 4.10s you have are a big addition and will help alot.

those magic sticks make pretty good power, whats the size of that cam again?? 237/242 113LSA??
I know the magic stick makes 380-410rwhp on a bolton LS1.
You will lose without the cam/N20.

You see cam only LS1's running around with 400-420rwhp, albeit big cams but they're out there. I think you could stay close with the Magic Stick, but you would defiantly have the advantage if you added a set of heads along with the cam.

He is the Fastest guy at my job with me in 2nd, i should b 400+rwhp with the MS3, i will also get the FAST 90mm Intake Manifold, and NM 90mm TB, then later on some ETP 215 Heads and a 125 shot Nitrous :rockon:

Hold out on the FAST intake. that intake is overkill on a 346. if you were going to go with a 408 then I can see you using that intake. Just get a LSX intake for your car if you haven't already got it. :coolman:

I have a buddy who has a '02 SS. (now has a forged 347, big ported heads, some .600 lift cam, FAST 90mm intake, all the bolt-ons, etc...) When his car was making 440rwhp (heads/cam) he raced a Cobra that was puttin down 480ish rwhp and the SS put about 2-3 cars on him from a 2nd gear roll (cant remember the speed).
I know this sounds like "I have a friend that race my friend", but Just trying to give you some perspective...

the 90mm LSX is perfect for a big cammed/heads 346. i know, i owed one and theres ALOT of people on the ls1tech site running them too. ive seen gains of 15-27rwhp. the guy that gained 27 had his 90mm ported. a non-ported 90mm should get you 15-20rwhp.

Get you launch down! You can rocket out of the hole and hope you make it to the the finish before him. Or once he catches up hit your brakes and make him think you stopped because you were tired of whooping him!

you'll need approx 400rwhp to compete with a 445rwhp cobra. the weight differance makes up for the 45rwhp differance. throw a 150shot on there and be done with it...:D

my best advice on how to beat a 445rwhp cobra would be to have a better power-to-weight ratio than him. :lol1:
