raced a 97 lt1 a4 t/a

Well last night i raced my friends auto lt1 97 trans am after a few bad races he kept jumping we finally got a good one in 10mph roll he did spin at all i spun most of first and i hooked good once i hit second he stayed ahead of me by a car for a little while by the time we got till the end i got him by about a bumper my mods are in the signature its a 89 iroc 350 tpi converted to carb stock heads and cam. My question is does this sound about right i kno hes putting out stock to stock about 55 more flywheel hp then me only mos he has is cold air intake i think from the factory he has 3.23 gears.

Sounds about right. My parents 96 Comp TA ran 13.7 when it was completely stock. That was an A4 with 3.23 gears.
