I am in the Army and currently in Iraq, when I get home I am putting a Holley Stealth Rammed 383 with 475hp from the guys at Muscle Car Crate Engines.

Here the senario,

My dad has an 02' Z06, I have a 1991 Z28. Can I beat him with the 383?

Z06 - Stock 405hp

Z28 Mods;

T56, 3.42 Richmonds, Subframe connectors, strut tower brace, Eibach Pro Kit, KYB 3 ways up front, Bilstein in back, LCA Relocation Brackets, Edelbrock 1 5/8 headers with 3inch Flomaster 2chamber exhaust, 17inch SS rims, 275 40 17 nitto 555r on rear

I know Hod Rod Magazine a while back took a 1991 Rally Sport Camaro with an automatic and put a Ramjet 350 in it. They are rated at 350hp, they raced an 02' Z06. They pulled 2 car lengths on Vette with the RS until about 90, then the hp diff with weight and aerodynamics took over and the Vette blew by the RS.

Can I beat him?

Additional Question;
He also has a 1972 Nova SS with a Speed O Motive 383, 4spd, 3.73 Gears, Longtubes with dual 3inch Exhaust, stock but rebuilt suspension, think I can beat this combo?

 

The best way to find out is to race him. Does it matter if you win or lose?

 

As I said, I am in Iraq right now. I am just trying to decide what engine to go with. I was going to do an LS1 swap, but that is what everyone is doing. Plus I already have a 6spd, but it wont bolt up to an LS1. And yes, it always matters if I win, I wont be to broken up as long as its a chevy beating me.

 

you have a 6spd that wont bolt up to an LS1???

 

I have a Borg Warner T56 from a 1997 SS Lt1 Camaro. The LS1 engines require a differant input shaft and front plate. I have called around and it would cost 700-900 dollars to make my transmission work with an LS1.

 

i say 383 hsr and when in doubt, spray him!

btw-stay safe over there bro

USMC here

 

475hp should run close to even with his car for awhile...but he should still get you. those Z06's are good top end cars...those LS6 motors make some peaky hp
