You should win fairly easily provided your set-up is dialed in.

I think that the turbo350, combined with the 3.23 open diff will be your downfall.

You should have a advantage over a stock/mild mod LT1 on power pretty easily. I think the open rear will kill you on the launch though, 3.23s aren't that bad but you need a decent posi...

I have a similar setup Vortec 350 and trying to go from a standing start or even a low speed start would be pretty ridiculous with an open rear.

You get the rear setup decently and LS1s would be better competition, and of course headers and a cam/some head porting work can make the LT1s pretty damn mean too so...
