LO3 VS. LO3

Ok guys here's one for you.
I have a friend here in town that is going crazy because I won't race him again.(mainly because I've beaten him by six cars everytime we've raced and I don't feel like embarassing him again) His car is a 89 lo3 M5,with the only mods a open element and 3.73 posi and huge tires 275 60 15's i think.(newly installed).My mods for right now are everything in my sig minus the headers and catback.with his 3.73 posi how do you think he'll do,if I race him again.

I haven't raced him with the 3.73 posi yet that's why I was asking.

You should beat him unless something is really wrong with your car.

Agreed, just be glad you wont get a street racing fine..lol

Those gears aren't gonna help him much as well I was gonna say thats not his powerband, but the car doesn't have enough power to slam through those gears anyway... Your gearing is better matched to the engine.

Exactly, the 3.73's are overkill on most L03 motors
