Re: Stock Vs. Pacesetter... pacesetter wins (pics)

Wow, what I don't understand is how the 97 F-bodies are rated the same as the 98 F-bodies when there is that much of a massive difference between the stock manifolds... It makes me wonder to myself if there is a difference in the tuning, like if the 98 does not make more power than the 97 even given the added flow, is it tuned down to make less power to match the previous year? Also the one-piece driveshafts they added later to the V6 F-bodies, is there a substantial difference, from say, a 96 Camaro, hardtop, 5speed to its 2002 counterpart in terms of acceleration, despite the same horsepower rating?

98 and 97 headers are the same, they didn't go tubular until 00.

They are rated at the same power yes, but the newer cars with straight tb, better headers, better gears, and a few other goodies are a bit quicker than older, they are just rated the same..
