a set of gears and a supercharger would easy beat him. A set of gears, heads, exhaust, a good tune, new intake, and maybe a cam would probably beat him too.
It depends on the year of the z28. It wont take much to beat an '82-'92, a little more to beat a '93-'97 and alot more to beat a '98-'02. The LS1 cars ('98+) run 13's stock. 5.0's run 15's stock.
If its a DIE-ROC some Lamb of God and a bad attitude will beat em, If it is a newer LS motor Thumpers, TMossed lower and upper,and 4.10's with sticky tires should get you around him.
h/c/i would be a start along with exhaust and gears or maybe a 150 wet kit? you'll need to run low-mid 13's to beat it, as stated a stock ls1 car will go 13's stock
'98's had 6 speeds. They also have over 300hp stock and a fox Mustang only has 225 stock. Its going to take a good h/c/i setup, gears and probably more to beat that car. Ive got h/c/i, gears and alot of other mods and my car only runs 13.7's. It sucks that we have to spend so much on parts just to attempt to beat a stock car.
Really it boils down to the driver.A good h/c/i car tuned correctly with a good driver will take out a new z28. pjb- if you are only 13.7 with a H/C/I car (if its tuned correctly) then something is wrong.
Ive never had it tuned. Its got AFR 165's, a custom ground Comp cam and an Edelbrock Performer intake with a bunch of other stuff done to it. I know the 60' times suck but dont know why.
PJB - Post up a time slip... A 98 Z28 comes with an ls1 engine and they dyno in the 300rwhp range and a T56 (6 speed). Stock ones with good drivers have trapped 110 mph. Depends on how far you want to go with the h/c/i kit.
A tune will help out that combo a LOT.. With that setup 12's should be EASY.. 60' times depend on traction and how the suspension setup is..
This is the timeslip from my quickest time: Reaction- .194 60'- 2.282 330'-6.0 1/8 mile- 8.991 1/8 mph- 82.82 1000'-11.547 1/4 mile- 13.705 1/4 mph- 103.28 I put off getting a tune because of some mechanical issues I was having with the car and I was a little low on cash. Theres also no good tuners around here. I had good traction and didnt spin. I had MT ET Street radials on the car on the track. Ive got aftermarket control arms on the rear too. I think the AOD is killing my times. Its getting replaced by a T5 real soon because I cant stand it.
I agree the AOD is killing your times Do not worry, custom cams are not all the same. Given this scenario with all else being the same: - AFR 165 - Systemax - Custom Cam 1 - AFR 165 - Systemax - Custom Cam 2 The second one could be 4-5 mph faster. We all have different goals in mind. I look at trap speed, and not E.T.
The AOD is getting swapped to a T5 ASAP. I already have the T5 in my garage and Im waiting for a few parts I bought to arrive. Ill get the car tuned after I take it back out in the spring. I just need to save some money for that and find a good tuner. First I need to replace a few noisy lifters. I dont know why the 60' times are so slow. The car gets traction and Ive got 4.10 gears. Ive got a stall converter in the car but a mechanic I took it to for some other work said he thinks the converter is shot, even though it only has about 1000 miles on it. I was highly disappointed when I took it to the track this year, especially since I dumped a ton of money into performance parts for it.
You could spend thousands and thousands to just keep up with a LS1 powered car. If all you care about is beating him, Spend a few hundred bucks on a nitrous kit and some good tires..That'll make it close and you can save the rest of the money for a new Cobra... With just good tires and a hard launch, we got a 99 Z down the track in the 12.90's. Can't beat technology...
best time was Rt----------.044 60---------1.881 330--------5.504 1/8--------8.576 MPH--------79.80 1000------11.228 1/4---------13.465 MPH--------100.46 offroad xpipe $200, magnaflow catback $300, and 76mm C&L maf with tube $220, timing at 15degrees with 93 octane, AND 3.73 gear$80, ford underdrive pulleys $75, nitto drag radials$300 265/50/16 So 875 dollors worth of mods and 300 dollors in tires and you can beat a z28....and if your running from stoplight to stoplight on a closed course he doesn't have much of a chance
Where are you buying gears for $80? New theyre around $200, the install kit is $165 and then theres the labor of installation.
