Just ran a camaro z28 from a 40 roll. It was automatic with gears, a $3000.00 racing transmission, and some minor bolt ons, I forget what else he told me.

It was 40-140 and I had him by about 2 inches all the way up to 125-130, soon as we reached around 125-130 he got past me and won by about 1/4 of a car.
I thought I did pretty good for only intake and chip.

Should I have won this race? Or Should he have beaten me by more?

 

What year was his and what car do you have?

 

I have an 04 GT 5speed.
I think his was a 95 but im not positive, I will have to ask.

 

uhh.. what "gears did he have? With an auto LT1 and 3.73's he would have needed to be at 4800 RPM in 4th gear to be going 140 MPH. And since the fbodys don't ****ft into 4th gear at WOT..... yeah.

 

I didnt ask what kind he had, so im not sure. But we were going 140 and then let off.

 

rule of thumb. races done in overdrive are crappy and no way to tell performance.

 

Ive never heard somebody say that before...

 

If you read the first post, it says the camaro had a $3000 racing tranny so I doubt that overdrive played as much of a part.
I'd say this guy did really well against an LT1.

 

anyone who paid $3,000 for an automatic race tranny got ripped off lol.

 

for sure, but its msrp is 3000, he said his friend works at a shop and got it used for him for around 500
