My 01SS vs 99SS w/mods
So i meet this guy up at this typical ricer BS hangout place down here where I live. He has a 99 SS with headers and a catback and K&N FIPK CAE. We go from a 40 roll and I pull away from him slowly..just pulling and pulling and pulling.
Were both A4.
Not a very interesting story but all I have for mods is an SLP lid and my transmission is slipping a little bit

I find that really surprising. We all know the 01+ LS1's put down awesome numbers stock but his mods should have equaled those power numbers. Its something I have always noticed at the track or closed streets*cough*. The pre 01+Ls1's really do not have that top end pull like the later models. I've raced a lot of ls1s, hell a few good friends have them! I've had my ass handed to me by the 01+ but never really ran into those pre-01's that people say run similar times.
I for one never understood why GM made soo many changes to the ls1 during those 5 years of production.

If he was untuned maybe that'd explain why you pulled on him. Otherwise it seems he should have had enough w/ the full exhaust and intake to pull you.

What i've found over the years is that - for the most part - no two cars run the same. I have raced other cars with basically the same parts as mine, but with completely different results. Even from a roll with A4's where neither traction nor shifting ability was an issue. Darn variables man...

lol@ some of the responses here. Yeah it was puzzling to me as to why he didnt pull ahead either. I asked him if he had a tune and he said he didnt. I told him to go to xxx motorsports and get one from John...he shouldnt have any problem with me after that.

Being a 01, you have better heads and possiblily the LS6 block which people say doesn't really matter but it helps breathing at top end and revs faster which I have been told by engine pros. That and the LS6 intake, I can see why you pulled him, without a tune he is not getting full power out of the mods. If you were BONE stock, it may have made a difference.
