Default Fast Enough?

I have a '94 LT1, 6spd, with the stock 3:45 ring & pinion. My goal is to be able to beat a stock Viper GTS. Here is the list of modifications that I have done:

SLP cold air intake, throttle body air foil, MSD 6AL ignition, CORSA cat-back exhaust, Edelbrock Peformer IAS shocks, adjustable fuel pressure regulator(set at 47psi), Hypertech power programmer III(used for turning on cooling fans earlier), NOS(150hp), AFS wheels(17X9 1/2 w/Dunlop SP8000 275/40/ZR17's front, 17X11 w/Dunlop SP8000 315/35/ZR17's rear), Venom 400 throttle enhancer, and Autolite spark plugs.

My question is whether or not I will be able to attain my goal of beating a stock Viper GTS with these modifications? Thanks in advance!! :chevy

No. Heads, cam and bigger motor are needed. You probably have 320 hp. Viper has 450 so you are a bit short. Now 150 HP of nitrous would get you there.

It looks like he already has nitrous. With that set up I would not hesitate to race a stock viper GTS. A good driver could win that race or at least make that viper nervous for awhile.. Have fun and try to be safe!! :smash:
