Some of us are dorks and have nothing better to do than post here, that explains the high post counts. I use these forums as a way to wind down at night or a passtime when I'm board.
His question was what it took to beat a LS1. I answered with a question because the LS1 comes in so many different vehicles. It's Gen 3 SBC is the LS line of motors. Also, what kind of race? If you come to the track with a stock from the air box to the oil pan and from the radiator back to the tailpipes, but you have a good gear, slicks, some weight reduction, and maby a few
suspension mods, and get lined up next to a stock 98+ F-body with all weather tires, if your a decent driver you will be first accross the finish line. Now, your driving down the highway at 75mph and one pulls up and wants to go, and you try, I hate if for you.
Then you will need a H/C/I as well as some exaust and a good running bottom end if you want to play.
Your foxbody has the big box kit from Maximum Motorsports, but the motor is stock, you see a F-body that you want to get around, but the guy in the F-body doesn't want you to, well, there isn't much he can do besides block you, on the other hand, you have a Twin turbo Dart 418 stroker with full drag
suspension and slicks and skinnies on the same road, there is nothing you can do but wait until the next straightway.
