He may be stupid and a bser, but correct me if im wrong but if he has a head/cam/intake combo could he not beat an LS1 w/ exhaust? Foxs are a lot lighter than F bodies...

what else had you done? and what year are you? there is a major difference in how the foxs respond to mods over the years.

there are about 1000 tangibles.

only tell by running him.

a 347 is a 302 block stroked to 347....you can't tell by looking at it.

if it has heads and intake it could very well be a 347, so unless he is notorious for bs, why doubt it?

my buddies 347 does in fact make about 400 crank hp, he also has a s-trim , and the car dyno's about 550 , thats in a '92 lx hatch
and he fully expects to run about a 10.80

my other buddies '95 gt has a 327 w/ an s-trim and he dyno's about 500 rwhp on a mustang dyno.

even if he is only 300 hp, if he has cheater slicks and 4.10's it'll run 12's....a little squirt in it and could be good for 400 hp , and 11's

sounds like it's gonna be a case of driver superiority to me.

and his auto could be a c4 w/ a 3500 stall, and that would move it just fine.

my buddies '91 gt w/ stock block 302, gt40 heads and intake , 4.10's and 125 shot went 11.90's on slicks

but i have also seen 2 different ls1's go 12's on just exhaust. same day, and they were parking right next to me at the track, i could see thier cars , hoods popped , and had no reason to not believe them, we talked back and forth all day, very cool guys.

If you are not betting any money, then why are you worried about it. Just race him and see how it goes.
