hey guys, i'm just curious, me and my buddy are in the process of building up our cars, and they should be done within a couple weeks...just curious on who you think would win a race

The 89 consists of:
'75 4 bolt flat tappet block bored .060 over 9:1 CR
Dart Pro 1 Alum Heads 215cc intakes and ported
Comp Cams 274HR cam, .490/.490 lift, 230/236 duration
1.6 ratio roller rockers
performer RPM intake
750 holley DP carb
3.42 rearend gears w/stock posi
built 700r4 w/2800 stall
245/50/16 wheels
no suspension mods

The 86 (which is mine) consists of:
'89 corvette motor 2 bolt main roller block, std bore, 9.5:1 CR
Corvette Alum L98 heads, no porting, highlift springs
Comp Cams 276HR hyd. roller cam, .503/.510 lift, 224/230 duration
1.6 ratio roller rockers
Stealth ram intake
holley fuel rails
26# accel injectors
Twin 58mm TB
Built 700r4 w/2400 stall
Eaton posi w/3.73's
lakewood drag shocks, boxed control arms, tubular torque arm..
18" tires with 275 treadwidth..
mine is a bit lighter too

who would win?

 

they are both 350 blocks too...

 

Wow it would be close! Those two set-ups are almost identical. I will go for the carb set-up over the stealth ram because chances are when you get it fired up it will take awhile to get the tune down. The carb will be running at its peaks in the shortest amount of time. That is unless the stealth ram set-up will be dyno-tuned/WBO2 by then.

 

pcmforless has my custom chip coming...they claim it will be tuned as good as your gonna get it without doing dyno tuning...the chip will be here before i fire it up..so its gonna be tuned right away....i also think its gonna be a real close one, i got a bit more lift but he has a bit more duration...

 

Like Shifty said, its gonna be seriously close! Those Dart heads flow like hell and I love them. My buddy has a set in his 79 Camaro and they are just plain bad ***.

You have a tad higher lift on the cam, which will open those valves more and give you more power. also, you've got high rear end gears and a stall to compliment it. The 400 RPM difference in your 2 stalls wont make much of any differance. If you are tuned right, you'll win because your suspension will help you on the launch.

This all depends on launch really. If you both launch good, i think youll pull ahead and win. But its all gonna rely on the launch really. Ill give this race to you but it depends on tune, launch, and driver skills. Good luck and let us know the results!

 

yes i also agree on the launch...and this is a good buddy of mine and we've talked abotu suspension parts and he really isn't to interested in hearing about it...his solution was to throw a set of drag radials on there and be done with it..he hasn't gotten them yet, but who knows we'll see...he has a stock rearend and like i said a little bit lower gears, and hes gonna be pushin about 400 horses, so i'd like to see how that rearend holds up if he does throw some drag radials on there..i know those dart heads flow rediculously amounts of air, but it doesn't really matter with that cam he is using...that came isn't taking full advantage of those heads anyways....my lift will be .543 after yotu take into consideration the 1.6 ratio rockers, and i did that just because i wasn't portin them, so i figured if i ran higher lift it would make up for the difference..i hope it works out for me...but i'll let you guys know the results when we line em up...i pretty much accepted the fact i was gonna loose a while back, but now that our cars are coming together, i'm feeling more and more confident..but like i said he is a good friend, so it doesn't really matter who wins and who loses....and we both are gonna have 12 second cars, and that would make us owning the fastest cars in highschool
