"the equivalant of a chip and pulley"
meaning whatever you can do to an SS that equals the same amount of gain that a L would get from a chip and pulley

racing from a stop takes skill on the launch, etc etc. it's what real racers do.

which is faster
We have a 2001 WS-6 Trans Am A-4 and an 02 lightning.
Stock for stock the T/A was faster 13.23 to a 13.55
After the chip and pulley for the lightning, and shorty headers and predator programing for the T/A the Lightning rules big time.
12.69 to 13.06. Both on E.T. Streets.
Last week we raced at an 1/8 track in 55 degree weather
the Lightning did 7.97 the T/A did 8.27

nothing wrong with F-bods, they perform a useful service to the community, when they're not racing
