1998 Performance
I have a stock '98 with a 6-sp and I am curious what they do in the 1/4. I just bought the car and I have not ran it yet. I have a race Friday night against a friend in a '72 Z-28 with a ZZ4 4-sp. He definately has me on horsepower but he has a terrible time trying to get it to the pavement. He has run the car and his best is a traction limited 13.6@108mph. Should I worry? Thanks guys.

Re: 1998 Performance (Godsil Performance)
Oh yeah and I was thinking about something. Has anyone taken out the plastic peices in front? The pieces that the Z06 screens cover. I unfortunately don't have fog lights so they really don't do anything and I have seen aftermarket ones that have holes cut in them. I was just curious if by removing them if I would gain anything. Thanks.

If your bone stock, and if you can launch and shift good. You should be about even with the Z28 based on the times you show it can do. From a roll, he likely will pull you since he is running 108 through the traps, because if your stock, your probably going to be around 104 or so in the traps. You might start to catch up when you get into the triple digits, since you have the aerodynamics.

Re: 1998 Performance (Xssesive)
I ran a 13.6 @ 106mph with a 2.25 60ft and extremely bad wheel hop off the line.
with the mods in my sig (execpt the MAF translator) I dyno'd at 315Hp and 327Lbs/Ft Tq.
with a little tuning via the MAF translator, I dyno'd at Carlisle this year @ 323.9 Hp and 333.7 Lbs/Ft Tq :cool:
I think you can take him! :D

Re: 1998 Performance (Godsil Performance)
Sounds like it'll be a good race!
You definately want to look at getting a Blackwing - or at least an open lid & K&N filter for the stock air box. On the 98, there are only 2 holes the size of quarters going into the stock airbox!
After you open up the airbox... then some cold air from the front will make a bigger difference!
Good luck!

Re: 1998 Performance (Godsil Performance)
Yes, some guys cut (with utility knife) the airbox lid. You probably want to get a K&N filter when you do that because the stock paper filter won't hold up too well to being exposed to the elements. Some guys purchase a 2002 Z06 lid which has openings on the front, as well as larger openings on the back.
Same goes for the 'fog lamp' area. Some guys drill holes in the stock plastic parts; or you can buy aftermarket Z06-style vents for there as well.
I still have the K&N I used on my 98. I only used it for 3 months before going with the Blackwing. I have the K&N cleaning/oil kit as well. Email me if you're interested in buying them - I have no plans for them.

I can pull 13.6 @ ~104 - 106 at 2700 above sea level with my 97 / MN6 and the mods below. My best has been 13.2 at 108, converting to sealevel that would be 12.97 @ 111. :smash:
I wouldn' t take it. Hold of until you get some mods and blow him away :D

Re: 1998 Performance (Godsil Performance)
Can I cut open the front of the air box? What about though plastic pieces in the front fascia? Thanks everyone.
