Default racing another h/c ls1

this is another local car, going to be cruising down to a car show with this guy and will plan on lining up a couple races. it's a 99 t/a firehawk clone. Has full bolt ons with an sl5 cam and livernois ported heads, 6speed car with stock rear end/gears and it dyno'd 437whp a couple years ago. basing this car off of the orange t/a i raced last week i plan on it being an opposite result, him beating me by about 1-2 cars. figuring he's about ~30 whp up on the orange one but he's also got stock gears i believe so i dunno, might be really interesting!

He should have 3.42 gears then, which IMO will do much better than the orange TA did with the 4.10s from a roll. This guy will be able to ride those gears/power a lot longer. I'm assuming he has a solid tune since he's well over 400 rwhp. Should be a good race. Kind of thinking he should put a car or two on ya.

the orange one had 3.73's not 4.10's. but i still agree with you, my only advantage will be weight, i'll have a passenger with both of us totalling around 300lbs, the owner of the t/a weighs 350 and hopefully he has a passenger too so it can stay interesting

I was thinking he had 4.10s for some reason. When is this race going down?

tomorrow evening. meeting at 6 to drive to the show, we'll be going southbound on the expressway so traffic should be scarce. hoping for the best.

So it's 6pm here, which means you should've already raced, right? We want results!!!! Oh, btw, good luck!
