My guess would be better heads and ignition from the factory. Other than that I honestly dont know lol.

Damn, just noticed Fastbird's an admin now. Again, welcome back dude.
Mr. Right, Don't take this wrong, but how did you beat him that bad? He had a LOT of advantages over you.

Ryan, looks like the camera is on the back window of the lsx, so to me it looks like the OP maybe won by about a car length of so in the 2nd race.

sorry for the slow reply to your answers. NO offense taken Ryan.
The video is taken from the top part of the hatch glass on the LSX car.
My shift light wasnt working the first video, and i shifted about 800rpms early.
I just know the basics about his build, but he is a iron block 408 (unknown static compression), big cc AFR heads, 88mm front mounted turbo, 6 speed, 12 bolt w/3.42s, large front mount. He was running 93 octane pump gas, and only 10 lbs. He can do 16 lbs, but he turned it down for me. he only has A/C deleted and tubular K-member as a weight reduction. He was on chrome C5 Z06 wheels and stock diameter ET street radials.
I am a 383, 11.3:1 static compression, Self-ported LT4 heads, port matched Vic Jr intake, Blow thru C&S carb running E85, 94mm front mounted turbo, no inter-cooler, and i am running 7 lbs.... which is about all i can run safely. I have no A/C, No heat, No power steering, No wiper cowl, Tubular K-member, No radio, No speakers, No sound deadening, and me and my passenger weighed less than he and his passenger by at least 200lbs (my car doesnt appear to look gutted though). Im also running a 6 speed and 12 bolt, but i have 4.11s. I was on prostars with slicks and skinnies with 28" ET street bias plys.
My turbo kit is also probably the more efficient kit, as i have less and straighter piping, better angled bends, and larger exhaust..... ( all because i had more room
Maybe its my weight advantage as to why i won, because his car is running perfectly was far i as i know.
RealQuick, here is some pics of my build http://htp.jalbum.net/Hi-Tuned-Performance-1996-Camaro/
and here is what it looks like

Never realized that. Lol
Mr. Right-I didn't realize you had that much weight reduction and that high compression....dang.

Mr. Right, beautiful build and top notch build quality!
thank you sir!
ryan- yeah, im pushing the limits with it, but on e85, im hoping it lasts until i can build a shortblock.
on a side note, i just today picked up some back seats, so the interior will look complete again.
