GRUDGE : 91 Bird vs. 87 Camaro
one of my best friends lives across the street, and him and I together have fixed our cars up and he will not beleive that I would beat him in the 1/4. (Not walk away from him but still be ahead) Heres the info..
ME:
1991 Firebird 305 TBI, 5 speed stick, 3.42 posi rear, blaster coil (bigger gap on plugs), no emissions, underdrive pulleys, 14" K&N open element, Edelbrock TES headers (3" pipes, straight piped cat, flowmater 80 series muffler with dual 2.5" out), fiberglass hood, and 215/15" wheels. Motor is strong as heck with 100,000 miles almost.
HIM:
1987 Camaro SC, Rebuilt LG4 engine to stock specs and replaced with a rebuilt rochester carb (guessing 470 cfm). 350 turbo trans, 2.73 open ended, no emissions either, 9" open air filter, and 215/70r14 tires in the back. Everything else is stock.
Should I race and defend myself, or will he walk on me???

Engine: LB9
Transmission: T56
Axle/Gears: 3:43
well, mine includes a few bolt ons a free flowing exhaust and a rebuilt qjet. With my timing set at zero i ran a 15.8 at 89 mph. I'm sure with timing advanced to 6 degrees and if i leave that heavy dual 12" sub box at home i can pull low 15's. his camaro doesnt sound very hot, im guessing hes running mid-low 16's. you should take him, but my buddy Ezey-go who is on this board has a very similar car to yours and he has run a best of 16.1 but he has better gears. I know this race will depend on who gets the jump, cuz neither of you two have much pulling power. Just make sure you get a good launch, run em and post what happens.

His car usually feels faster at times, but i think its cause he drives crazy and his engine revs higher with the different tranny. I know its the worst engine (lo3), look at my sig and you'll see my plans.

Actually, i think the worst engine was the "IRON DUKE".

at least in a 1/4 that is you may have better gears for off the line.

Well I know my car has beaten a 305 TBI with headers and exhaust. The kid has paid me over 500 bucks because of it.
And I am not completely stock either. I have plus 4lb injectors(19Lb not 15) ported/polished intake(upper/intermediate/lower) custom CAI/Ram air. Air pump working as a vacuum pump. and a higher friction clutch.
Yes it leaves the line first, but after I get second... Bye bye...

From a stop you should smoke him
2.73 gears + th350 = VERY deep first gear
Your trans has much better gearing, and I'd bet you are making more power. Stock for stock I think you have more torque also...but Im no tbi expert.
