hey guys, my friend in his carbed 350 think's he can beat me. i know he can do it stock but i am planin on mods b4 i race him, tell me what u think, here's the stats:

him: 83 z-28 350 carbed, auto tranny, bone stock,

me: 86 sc, 305 carbed, auto tranny, mods b4 we race: hooker headers, flowmaster exhaust, high flow cat, maybe dual snorkel maybe just a single runnin like a dual but without the other side, comp cams energizer cam, roller rockers.

well what do u guys thing, i think i have got a chance but he swears i dont. how much is he puttin out stock and how much am i looking at with these mods??? thanks guys

 

Well since the 83 isn't bone stock considering it has a 350 in it and 350's were not a factory option on the thirdgen until 87. I say it all depends on what 350 motor he has in his car. If it's an "economy" edition one from the late 70's to 81' then you've got a standing chance with those mods against him and my money would be on you. But if it's a thirdgen 350 motor guessing it has atleast over 200 hp stock i don't see you beating him.

 

Alot of 350 guys always think they can beat a 305 just because they have a 350. But the 305 guys don't have the traction problems like the 350 guys. If he can't get the power down on the start then I think you would have him. Believe me I know from experience

 

i am not sure bout his motor, i will have to check. i will get back to u guys after i found out later today. that is what i thought with the traction problem and i had hoped i could beat him. i just want to rub it in his face cause he is always talkin junk

 

he says it is the one from the 70's to 81 camaro, but is that an LT-1, he said it was an LT-1 and that was in the 70 to 81, i am not positive on this and think he is wrong, he bs's a lot of stuff. is he right. how much hp is he pushin with each of these motors, and how much would it be from a 3rd gen 350. my car has 150 stock, kinda punny but o well, and with those mods i too would probably be pushin 200. wouldn't i, bout 30 from headers and exhaust maybe 20 or so from cam and roller rockers, and some from intake???? am i wrong. anyway, thanks and i hope to hear more with the updated info

 

hes probably bulls**ting you, because the LT1 motor was only availible up to and including the 72' model year, not 81'. He probably told you he has a LT1 because its considered the fastest 350 offered by the factory in the musclecar era. Most likely he got it out of a 70s van or something. Race him and find out. Good luck.
