Default RE: 426 hemi vs 454 ls6

never been to Pittsburgh, too cold. I'm a Florida boy. it was a black Celica, it was the ST, but I had it running 230hp(all-motor), double the stock numbers(almost exclusively custom built). It was a sleeper. I never hit someone up for a race, I let them hit me up. It had side exit exhaust, but I left the stock muffler on the back
Wanna talk about timing though, my uncle(he's a master mechanic, 30+yrs in the business) had just found me a 91 supra motor and an all-trac transaxle that we were gonna use to build the ultimate all-motor sleeper.
Granted it was only a sleeper when sitting at the light, the second I'd step on the gas it roared to life. and the guy next to me knew he'd just been suckered in. I did lose a few times, but not often. Typically the guys that could beat me knew exactly what I was when they pulled up next to me and saw the seemingly stock wheels were about 3inches too big to be stock. And that there was a big ass pipe coming out from behind the front tire.
