Default My first LS1 encounter

So I pull up to a stop light on saturday night and I look to my right and what do i see an LS1 Z28 camero. Light turns green we both go, I don't really like to launch my car for a couple reasons (1 I'm afraid I'll break it and 2 because I'm afraid I'll break it, I haven't had much practice) either way I had like 1 to 1.5 car lenghts on him through 3rd but then he started catching back up[:@] and I shut down at the end of 4th to make sure I could stop for the stop light up ahead and wound out in 4th menas your done anyways. So at the end his front bumper was at my front fender. So I would consider it a win but I have no doubt if it would have continued he would have edged me out. I never got to ask him if he had anything done because I got to the stop light and his g/f gave me the fingure and then he took off. All and all I was pleased with my car but I can't wait to get to the dyno to get the thing tuned right so it will stop back firing and hopefully run a little better.

What are your mods? I'm guessing a blower and other goodies, or a lot of engine work (heads, cams, maybe a stroker) and bolt-ons (gears, full exhaust). Especially if you didn't even launch hard. Good kill.

EDIT: King cobra clutch not that that makes a huge difference.

You've got one of the nicest SN-95 Mustangs I've ever seen! Nice, tasteful, and restrained Black with Chrome wheels...Awesome![8D]
