He hit his goal as soon as he chose the LS motor :D

thanks,i'm hoping for some 6teens and some low 9.70's in the fall...then its time to put a plate on it...

Spray it

Right on!

What kind of total timing do you run? Do you know what the A/F is?

I am close to that. I ran a 10.10 the other night.

number 6 pill from the msd 6010 box...i dont know what the a/f ratio is with this new carb(850qft)...thanks billy

What was your mph 1/8th and 1/4? Congrats thats rollin

108 133 82 degrees and 2000 da...i'm going to put some 28's on it,i think it will give me a few mph...

thanks..there was alot of trial and error though...lol

He hit his goal as soon as he chose the LS motor :D

Ahh, shaddap! :D jk

Nice time!!

im just curious, your car has a cam only on a 6.0 and your running 9.90s through a powerglide? how are you making almost 450 to 500whp on a cam only 6.0 ? just curious..

it says in the 1 post-big cam, big headers, big intake, fast gears, light weight

OP-we need some track videos:cheers:

im looking for a good deal on a gopro camera kit...if not,i might have someone take a vid for me...hopefully i'll have my goal met the next go around for n/a and i can put a plate on it....

How much are you planning on spraying and what's the nitrous goal?? If you ever need some one to hold a camera gimme a call, just bought a new one a few months ago ;)

That would be insane!! Looking forward to watching it run. You taking it to the Civil Wars race this weekend?

still on the fence on going there or to farmington..if i decide to go to the rock would you film a couple of videos of my car making some passes from the starting line?

Sure, that wouldn't be a problem.

The car is awesome, good job again.

thanks...

haha be careful calling it cam only being milled .040...some people will jump all over that...

awesome times and raceweight...wow I need no start gutting my car more :)

how big of reliefs did you cut

thanks 1313...i'm still waiting on some good air down here.

congrats bro. that is quite the accomplishment from when i was reading your build thread. so what did you do for your rearend? is this a stock style suspension?

Billy,
I once called my 6.0 "cam only" and was corrected rather quickly.
Still feel like you, it is a cam only motor with necessary mods to make it work.
heads are milled on an lq4 to get maybe 9.8/1...What is the compression on a stock ls1?
any one ever put a 5.3 head on an LS1 with a cam...is that considered cam only?
Any way, I now run a stock cube 346... :-)

Dave

it has a 8.8 in it thats been cut down a few inches on each side to run a more evenly offset rim...aje front end stuff and has the stock style rear suspension also with a anti roll-bar from team z...its even still got the factory rear shocks on it(until i can find a good deal on some adjustable ones)...thanks billy

i think people are accepting this type setup more and more as cam only,because i'm not catching to much flack anymore...the ford sites was the most aprehensive than anyone,now even they dont argue about it so much...congrats on your new set-up and keep us updated with your progress....thanks billy

Congratulations. How high are you spinning it through the traps?

Congratulations. How high are you spinning it through the traps?

with 26 inch slicks 7300 and with 275/60/15 mt dr's 6900...give or take alittle on both...

Strong running combo Billy, the fall air should help.
Keep us updated....

Dave

damn wish i can get that light in my z but i do have an 88 stang im looking to drop and ls1 and twin 67's

damn wish i can get that light in my z but i do have an 88 stang im looking to drop and ls1 and twin 67's

my buddy has a 3rd gen with a ls1 that weighs 2900lbs(with him in it 220lbs) with full interior minus front drag race seats...so its possible to get fairly light with f-bodys....ps those twin 67's wont care to much about weight...lol

Billy,

Are you running adjustable upper and lowers? Do you drive the car on the street much? If so, how does the anti roll bar effect driving manners?

Thanks,

Brian

adjustable uppers only...every now and again and it rides like a wagon with the anti-roll bar hooked up...lol

Nice times and a nice car! I would like to build an LS powered Fox coupe one day...

The cam only argument comes from back in the day - before all of the transplants and rebuilds came along - you would be disqualified from a cam only class if your head bolts had marks on them from a socket! You literally could not remove the heads for a class like that... that thinking carried over to the internet threads and such. Personally, unless you are running a class that requires you to meet the rules, who cares about the "titles"...

if its an LS2 6.0, then 450+ to the wheels is not uncommon.

its a lq4 6.0 motor...

y did you run the 799s and not a set of stock LS3 or L92 heads milled? im tryin to figure out if i should run a cathedral port head and a super victor. or a square port head and a victor jr, since they do not make a super victor for square ports, in my fox.

i did'nt know any better...lol

That's hauling the mail.

Congrats!


:pics:

Congrats Billy.
With the number 6 pill and out of the box carb, I would think you have more in it. Put a wide band on there to get a AFR reading going down track.

Makes me want to get a glide lol.

thanks for the compliments...but i have some bad news,i sprayed it and #6 piston let go...but it was time to move on to bigger and hopefully better things....atleast it made one good pass before it let go...all the other pistons look like brand new except for that one...only thing i can figure is it might have been weak from the factory...well anyways R.I.P. 6.0 and i'm thankful for the good times i had with it....now i need to get my friend in gear and post the video....

What was the one good pass?

Did you pull any timing at all? Like using the pink wire on the 6010 which is the wire that pulls timing when activated.

Did you get it blowing up on video? HAHA.

What next? 408?

5.76@119 off a 1.30 short time...i pulled 8 degree's out had some good gas in the tank...and yes its on video as soon as buddy can get it down loaded he'll post it for me...i want to build a 400 plus something with some afr's or tf's...i'm still picking thru the rubble and hope i can save my block...

LOL, 5.76 is rollin out. And 1.30 is awesome. How big of a shot was it?

I would do a 408 LS2 with L92 heads. It could be done on a budget pretty cheap considering the output of the motor.

If you are looking for a short block, get a hold of AES engines on here. They have great deals.

5.76@119 off a 1.30 short time

Holy crap!! Hope you are able to save the block.

i was pretty happy about it for a little while...150 shot...i did make one motor pass also that day 6.22@109 with a 1.34 60ft....thanks billy

thats pretty impressive my friend welcome to the single digit club

Awesome car,How big of reliefs did you cut??

how much you think you have spent total, have a buddy with a similar setup on a fox.just wondering

around 10k...sorry for the delayed answer to your question...thanks billy

i'm very impressed with your numbers, but not terribly surprised.
my dad was in the 11's back when he was my age in his 67gta with his 390, and i havent yet taken my ws6 to the track, but i hope to make a fun run before getting rid of it and atleast being there with him. i can't imagine 9's any time soon

bravo

Update Billy?


I say you do a forged 370 now and spin it to 7700, LOL.

Never mind Billy, found the other thread, still shoulda stuffed the old cam and heads back to it, LOL.

i'm working out some bugs with my new set-up and will let you know when i get it up and running again....lol
