do you hook or spin ?

w/ tires yes, w/out tires no way , ls1 cars run strong at the top end, capable of 12's all stock , you need to get him hard out of the hole and hope he can't catch you.

I still don't think that a SN-95 5.0 with gears, full exhaust and a few bolt ons could take an LS1 even if he does hook. He might have a better 60' (if the LS1 isn't running slicks also) but the LS1 will run him down.

also no mention whether the formula is bone stock. if it isn't bone stock he's got even more against him.

you've got to downsize your tb, your actually slowing yourself down 75mm = way to big for your mods, 65mm will do for you, if you do a h/c/i swap then 70mm is fine i know people that still run 65mm but 75mm is pointless, and 3" exhaust is also not helping u. go with 2 1/2. 3" is only if your going to FI and you still dont need it then.

also the stock intake on a 94-95 has an internal EGR, and that is your restriction, not your TB. your stock TB is the exact size of your EGR. a bigger TB does absolutely nothing on a stock 94-95 intake.
