I doubt you would walk him, but it would be close.

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you're fast.
i have the driver mod...damn...i raced a 94 lt1 before with my old white 5.0 with 3:73s and he had pipes and so did i and i devoured him, agian i had the driver mod...cerap..im kinda angry, i guess ill get a tb and a cobra intake and some gears to ensure a victory..lol

yeah it matters on driver skill but most likely he will get you because the LT1 does have the performance edge. I just raced a mildly modded GT like yours and mildly modded LT1 and beat them by about the same lengths(i dont think the LT driver gave it it's all or it'd be closer), so if the LT driver isn't so good you'd have a chance

nahh hes not the best driver, and i belive is optispark is decent, i rode in it yesterday its pretty quick, i think that with 3:73 i coudl woop him...and yea what heads do u suggest instead of the o sooo famous e7's???? i am gettin a cobra intake for it and a C&L cold air intake for free, so i will bolt those up...

I have done this race several times... all very close, mods in my sig... I am 3 for 5 against a mostly stock (mangaflow catback) 1995 pontiac Lt1 auto so i doubt you will win without some gears or another power adder
hahaha ok well i am still gonna try and run his lt1gun down

Depends on how much money you want to spend, if you want to go cheap you can pick up some gt40's or gt40p heads, if you want to go aluminum afr 165's or trick flow twisted wedge heads are supposed to be the best
Its really up to you, any of them will be a major improvment over your e7's, trust me
the lt1 has 86k on it, an dhas a really bad slipping clutch that he is gettin g fixed...and i have 148k..lol
