Nice death...sounds like you would have gained on him if it kept going... not doubting you but it doesn't sound like a full exhaust LT1 to me... LTs/Mids and even shortys make a huge difference on those cars... I would have thought from a roll he would be pulling pretty good. (I could be wrong..my old LT1 seemed to respond to mods rather well and was trapping just shy of 105mph on stock manifolds with minor bolt ons.)

All it takes is some LT's and true duals to make an LT1 sound good. lol. Anything else sounds like filth and rasp. Y-pipes with crossflow mufflers bite the big one. That's why I went with the x-pipe when I put my LT's on.

LT's or Mids make a pretty good difference. But, most people will usually say shorties suck. Mine had shorties on it when I bought it, so I don't know if they were any better than stock manifolds. But, going from shorties and a cutout, to LT's and true duals, was a night and day difference. Both in sound, and performance. I do know that you had some pretty good results with shorties though. But, maybe the BBK's were a lot better than Edelbrocks. Didn't you make 360rwhp through a stalled auto and shorties with a CC306, on stock heads?
