Default Me vs Turbo lt1 firebird.

Ran into a kid today driving a rear mount STS turbo lt1 firebird, had quite the mouth on him but couldn't get a race going as he first pulled a ricer flyby on me than kept bucking his car in traffic like an idiot, anyway he said its pushing 8 pounds on what im assuming is a car with a few bolt ons, didn't have crap for tires. What would you think the outcome would be, dig and roll?

Not sure, but from what i've seen 8 psi on a modular 2 valve seems to make pretty good power. I don't know how well LT1's respond to boost, but they seem to do better than our cars with basic bolt ons, HCI, etc...

Should be interesting.

really depends on his setup. if he's still stock heads, he'll be lucky to make 370rwhp. ported heads though, he could be in the 400-450rwhp range on 8psi.

if he went wild and has a damn good tune though, you'd better be ready to bend over.

No I'm running a procharged 4v making 420rwhp, my car is also pretty light as well, its a GTS model to begin with, corbeau seats, rear seat delete, ac dele, tubular front suspension etc. I'm almost 100% sure the firebird is a stock lt1 with the turbo and some bolt ons.

Sounds to me that your car should do the job accordingly. But if neither one has good tires, it will be a spin fest with each driver jockeying for traction. I'd love to witness said race!!
