Thats proaably about right. You need a power adder of some sort to make up for the difference in displacement.

Na on stock gears the ls won't b that strong, with shit 60's and baby launches I ran 12.72 in the heat. The ls won't b but a 12.5 car or so? Throw some gears in that bish and she will b low 12's it's all in the driver

Op has the 6 spd and tub k over me

You think the OP's car can be a low 12 second car with gears? Good luck with that!

And your best bet is just to get it dynoed and see where you are at as far as power levels. If you are under 280rwhp I wold be heavily surprised.

Said ls car with stock 3.42's would b faster if given a gear.... Op already has gears of course...

But yeah I think op's car with some 4.56's, big n littles, good tune. And some driving could b 12.2-12.5 range. Depending on altitude and all.

It's already been proven that with the bolt ons, gear, good tune and good driving these cars can produce those times! No reduce the weight and go further with the ported short runner and imrc deletes these cars can crack 11's

For a 300-310whp car that's 3k + depending on weight reduct that's damn good!

Did u race from a dig or roll? I raced a stock automatic ls1 camaro when my car had 4.30s, long tubes, full exhaust, 5.0 stroker. It had a shitty email tune and i doubt it made over 300rwhp but i walked 2-3 cars on the camaro from a roll. Longtubes make a big difference on the LS motors. I would think you woulda done a little better if it was from a roll or if u hooked from a dig, but that might be about right. Your imrcs could def be a problem if you feel its sluggish up top

As others said, what type of race? Dig, roll, what speed did you get up to?

Given the mods, it seems like you should hang with him or even edge him. Get the car dyno'ed and you will find out if there is a problem.

There's so many factors in the outcome. My buddy has an ls car with stock gears, long tubes, and a built trans with a 3900 stal he walks my car all day and only runs 12.5. Then there's this other ls6.0 car that runs around with heads, cam, intake, longtubes, tuned, 3.73s, and a 3900 stal built trans and him and I are dead nuts even. Altitude has a lot to do but so does driver and a million other things.

If your IMRC's weren't opening up you would have been 10 lengths behind lol. Cleaning or deleting them can only help though.

Sct with a custom tune if your untuned... Leaving alot on the table. I went from 26x whp to 291 wheel with everything unchanged just tuning. Went from trapping 103 to 106-107 in just weeks time. Untuned---> tuned
