Theres no way. my SS would just destroy my 5.0 ive lost to z28s in that thing. i think it was so slow because it didnt have a good tune. but it was my 1st car so ill always love the 5.0

Depends on what cam he has. It can throw off his combo.

Click to expand...

which trickflow intake?
which cam? what specs?
which headers? long tube? shorties? equal length?
Which Trick flow heads?
shifter won't help ya horse power! lol
cold air intake can actually hurt your hp (in some cases)!
flowmaster exhaust.......21/4" or 21/2" or 3" ?? which is it
flowmaster mufflers?? flow tubes?? or not? 3 chamber or 2 chamber mufflers?
which H-pipe? 2 1/4" or 2 1/2"....3"???

horse power could be anywhere from around 230 hp or up to around 340 hp depending on combo! With right amount of fuel, timing, and matched up parts tune it could possibly fly! with wrong tune, to much or to little timing, not enough fuel or to much fuel.......it could be the biggest pig you've ever seen. Its all about combination..........
does it have any 3:73's in the rear end? are they stock gears (2:73's)??
which tires?? hard compound, soft compound??? do you power shift or granny shift????
are the front tires aired up all the way? do you run wide arse front wheels that drag your cars rolling potential down??

all kinds of factors are involved in 1/4 mile times..........

good luck...........if ever you decided to sell the chitvy, get back in here and we'll be glad to help ya spank many many of those wanna be SS's!
good luck!
Jack

yea i know, they say the SS is a little quicker, i mean i take Z28's by half a car? its all about the driver really. but anyway my 5.0 would get stomped my ne ls1 (unless it was stock had rims a system it was a droptop and has 230k miles oil never changed )
