Hey guys I just have a quick question that I want some input on. I have a 88 LX, which is a 5speed, it has MAC equal length headers, o/r h pipe, MAC exhaust and a ebay air intake with upgraded plug wires, and also weld draglites. My buddy has a 89 GT, its a 5speed. He has a Edelbrock intake, i think its a 70mm BBK tb, stock headers and flowmasters I believe. Now from what Ive read speed density is faster than MAF as far as stock setup. And I believe that the intake and tb dont make to much dif if you use stock heads and stock MAF and injectors. Is that right? Now my question is who would win? I know it depends on driver experience and that, but in theory who will win.

they are, but not by much... maybe 200lb at the MAX!

unless we are talking about an LX notchback and a GT hachback, or whether or not one is a vert....

+1 on RACE
