89 Iroc vs 95 Vette
I may be racing a 1995 Corvette LT1 with a 6-speed soon. How do you guys think this race will go 1/4 wise. Not sure about this one.
BTW I have an 89 Iroc 350TPI with a Cat-back w/high flow cat, Headers, Edelbrock Intake manifold and high flow runners [both ported by the guys at tpis], Ported plenum, Air foil, TB bypass, AFPR, K&N's, Gutted air box, Hypertech stage one, 160 thermo, MSD ign, cut out fins on the maf, re-maped the injectors, all the little bolt ons.
Heres an engine pic

As stated above the vette should be a mid 13 second car and you shouldn;t be too far behind. Do you have any chip work? If not I would say he gets the win. Racing from a dig would give you the best chance though.

I did forget a few things. With the stock 2.77 gears I was running 13.8 at 97. Then I got 3.42's and drag radials then I ran 13.5 at 99. Had the car dynoed and got 245rwh and 325rwt.

I think it will make for a very close race if he's stock. If he can launch his 6 speed well and has sticky tires, you may be in trouble, as that eliminates your advantage off the line.

My car has 51K on it his 100K if that matters at all. I actually got to drive this car a year ago. At the time I was driving a 15 second lg4 so the Vette amazed me. I remember it felt extremely quick in third and forth gear.
And yes he is 100% stock. Good for me right.

Now, if his car smokes blue like a frieght train and yours compression tests like new, that's different .
But the fact that he is stock does help you. And DEFINITELY go from a dig.

All I know is that it ran near perfect last summer. Are the LT1 Corvettes underated like the LT1 Camaros were? I looked it up and it said it has 300 hp and 340 lb ft.

However, I did just get an idea. If you guys aren't having anyone flag the race with their arms and are using the horn system, have him honk the 3 honks. It should make it more difficult for him to launch it.

lol, If i win I want to beat him in fair game. Its not for money so its not a big deal. I found this on one of those sites that gives 0-60 and 1/4 times for factory stock vechiles.

Those sites usually rate L98s in the 15s for the 1/4.

That one is rated at 13.4. The 95 has 10 more lb ft of torque. This is going to be a tough one. I hope my car has more in it than a 13.5 at 99 lol

My opinion the Corvette is still the winner. If that guy can shift and launch properly he will win. The LT1 vette is an awesome car. Ive driven them plenty times. You still have a good chance though. I love a L98 beating a later LTx or LSx.

Go from a stop. You're going to lose from a roll. I raced one from a stop, and did ok until about 60ish. But I lucked out and grabbed hard off the line (Horray for 2.77's!).

imo you're only going to beat him if you can NAIL that launch like a ****. And you will have to race 1/4, because he's going to trap higher than you. I've seen those things routinely trap 103 bone stock.
The only difference between the Corvette and the F-body in the LT1 era is a difference in exhaust routing. nothing to cause 25 hp. Both had an iron block and aluminum heads. Same cam specs. They just underrated the Fbody. The reason the vette is faster is because it weighs several hundred pounds less. My '94 T/A weighed 3500 curb weight.

True. You did spend decent money on it.. I thought you bought it like that? With the runners and ported and everything? Isnt it like 600 bucks for a HSR? Also where in Mass you guys gonna race! Serioulsy did you hit snow at all in your area!

I am also looking into a 2800 stall, along with a Comp cam. By the time all this damn snow melts I will proably have enough cash for a few new mods.

I saw a video of a White 91 Camaro racing a LS1 car. The 91 had a nos kit and dusted the LS1 off the line. Pretty cool video its in a thread on this site somewhere.

The vette had a better exhaust and air intake. That was the only difference.

By the looks of the list of stuff on your car and the fact you got an L98 I think you got a fighting chance at the very least you can get him in the 1/8 mile

The one thing that I have going for me is that my car is very well tuned. I do have him beat in the torque department, and we are about even in horsepower. I am at least going to put up a fight

You may be even/higher in peak HP/tq (but I doubt you are at 300hp yet) but he wins the average power curve trophey. That makes a car faster.

The hypertech just adds some fuel and timing to WOT where it may or may not be needed. It does not touch part throttle tune. Just FYI.

When I posted my dyno graphs on here awhile back alot of people agreed that I am making around 300-306hp at the flywheel. I hear its a 20-25 percent loss for the auto but I am not sure, its just what they tell me.

your numbers dont seem all that bad. stock manifolds and exhaust really chokes the car, cuz bone stock my car seemed somewhat quick, but once i added the headers, it really rode out!. i'm trappin 100mph so thats gotta be close to 230-240ish rwhp. near 280ish crank? L98's really wake up with exhaust mods

Your graphs are decent but still expose the weaknesses of a TPI system. None the less your car hauls. Do you have the full graph that shows AF ratios. In that thread they are cut off from the dyno printout.

No but i'll get some new ones up if you want. I hate math but 245rwh considering a 25 percent loss is 306 at the engine I believe. Also a car that runs mid 13's usually has 300+ hp. I dont really know I guess it all depends on what you use for percent loss.
btw I was told it had a better fuel ratio w/tpis chip.

Oh ok I didnt know that it matter that it was the 700R4. There are so many factors its crazy. Dynos also vary alot so there isnt really an exact figure I guess.

As for parasitic loss. Automatics use planetary gear systems encased in fluid plus a fluid converter. Manuals use a helical gear system encased in fluid. Yadda yadda yadd, automatics suck up more power (greater coulumb and viscous losses) compaired to manuals.

That was beacuse of gears and better tires......had nothing to do with power being added.
