Pontiac GTO 2004-2006 - Cam only gto track trip......

Went to Muncie tonight to get my tune freshened up. Ran two times and called it a night. Was super pumped with the results for a slowwwww LS1 gto. 12.3 at 115!

Only mods are
K&n cold air
Eps cam
Pacesetters
Catless x
Slp lm1
B&m shifter


Still on stock clutch as well! Just figured I'd share! I'll post the slip later

Good time!

That mph has the potential to put you into the high 11's:angel:

I'm hoping with the gto spares on the front and a little better 60 and possibly take some more weight out I'm hoping for a high 11. I was stoked with this run.

My 60 was 1.7 forgot to post that

What tires are you running?, congrats on the great ET!

Some wore out m/ts

Very Nice man! any pics?

Yeah I'll have to upload the slip from the computer. I'm out right now lol. Idk how to upload from my phone

here it is guys, I feel like this is pretty good for my mods. Thoughts?

Your car is strong as hell from half track on.. Haven't seen many cars pick up 29mph from the 1/8 to the finish. Congrats on the strong pass.

Yeah for some reason it starts to pull really hard up top. I was pretty impressed. There was also a head wind, so that wasn't helping. It wasn't insane but it was still blowing a bit.

Wow nice times! I wish mine ran that good.. I have a '04 with a 3200 stall, TSP 233/239 cam etc etc and my best is 12.91 at 105. It should run alot better but I haven't figured out why :-/

Congrats though!

Check your tune, before mine got touched up it was super rich like 10 to 1 Afr and made 375 with a broken plug and wire and was only trapping 110ish.

damn man, hella good time. Congrats

Thanks! I think there's a little more left in it as well. Hoping for a real low 12 or 11.99. Going to wait til later on in the season and drive the car like I hate it at the track. For now, time to hit the streets. Lmao

lol i cant stress enough how strong of a pass that is with those mods.. I had a pass almost identical to that in my 04 A4 but from the 1/8 mile on your car is pulling insanely hard. Here's a slip to compare yours to. 1st half of the track almost identical...

Yeah yours pulls better in the eighth then mine. Mine really wakes up after that.

I have 3.90 gears as well. That might help? Maybe? Lol

Very nice I have a really close pass like that when I had roughly the same mods (headers/cam/3.91s) with a 12.340. My 60' was 1.82 and the eighth was at 90.01 so your top half is really good. What was the DA?

I have 3.90 gears as well. That might help? Maybe? Lol

Ya, the 3.90s would definitely help but i wouldn't say it should make a 7mph trap difference. I was on stock 3.46 and still am. You running the stock 241 casting head and ls6 intake?

Yup bone stock heads and intake. Prob get a nice port job this winter

When u trapped 90 in the 1/8 was that with your custom made cai? Jw because im thinking if he junked his kn and went with yours his car would run even better. Seems almost impossible for the OP's car to run that strong with a junk cai. I also have the same problem though.

I'm wondering the same thing lol

Anybody have a hp estimate?

Congrats though!just ran a 12.90 with a vararam and a tune on my 06 auto...oh and those kooks afterburner mufflers you know drop 1/2 second. you have something real wrong with you tune or you don't know how to launch? you mph should be higher so it might be the tune I trapped 108.3

Ya, I ran with a handmade one-off then and had a 2,000 DA

An '04 is not the same as a '06 and autos generally run much better ETs and slower traps than a stick. Without knowing his DA and yours it's all a guess.

Svede I will totally let you use my car as a tester ;) haha

nice time what is the cam specs i ran a 12.7 @112 cam only it was a baby cam tho 214/230
57* 57* with a 114+4 lsa small blower cam

The first time I ran cam/headers I revved it up, dumped the clutch and snapped the drive shaft

Pretty good time. I ran similar to that when I had the baby of all cams in mine, LPE GT2-3. But I swapped to LS6 heads. They got me .2 sec as I went 12.5@110 with just the cam and 12.3@112 after the head swap.

That was the last time mine went down the track :( Oct 06. It has had two more cam swaps and still haven't been back.

Heads/headwork will pick it up to 12.0 or better.

I'm hoping to get some ported 243s. Also bought some nitrous, hoping for mid 11s

I'm hoping to get some ported 243s. Also bought some nitrous, hoping for mid 11s

Realistically if your car traps 115 now thats capable of high 11s. So you add ported 243s and spray id say you could have a shot at a 10 second pass depending on the port job and how big of a shot your putting on it.

Very nice. What RPM are you launching at with the 3.90s. Running some drag tires I assume?

Mickey ets and dropping it between 4k to 5k.

Getting the 243s cncd and probably start off on a 100 shot then pill up when I am used to it. Probably won't spray until second gear though. Unless I get ballsy. Remember this is all stock clutch and rear lol!

This is what I am deathly afraid of, lol.

OP-that is an inspiration to all slo4 owners:D

nice pass man!

Thanks guys! I get tired of all the shit talk from non gto owners and some ls2 gto guys about all 04s being slow pigs. You CAN mske an 04 quick! Proof!

Most of the 6.0 GTO guys that talk smack don't really know cars that well. They're usually the ones that hand their car off to their builder to put on all the parts they bought that had the biggest specs. 18 cubes is the difference at the end of the day (and no drive by wire issues). Driver skill is a bigger determiner than that.

Wish my car would run a 12 anything lol can only as well and my best is 13.0 @ 110. I just need axles and slicks I think.

I'm stock axles for now and svede I agree. It's been a long road but she is getting there.

I just cant afford to break and axle again or driveshaft. That's why I haven't borrowed or bought some slicks to see what she runs. I do have a new clutch now so maybe that'll help some too

Good run. You have a great tuner

My best run down the track has been 12.9 @115.8.-- 2.2 60'
Stock intake tube with a filter
3.91's
LT headers
Tune
Dual springs
Tourquer V2 Cam
LS7 clutch
No cats
Cutouts open for the run

04 M6

So your right on the money for what you have done. I say spray it or leave it and enjoy.

I bought a TNT kit for it, having a hell of a time getting it wired up and not breaking little lines and shit lol.

hey clonedws6 do you have a stock shifter or any other shifter for a gto i can try or buy?

Pick up a spare half shaft to take to the track. They're cheap. If you bust a rear CV it's a 45 min job and your can swap out the half shaft and drive home.

Yes slayer I do. And svede my busy just upgraded to gforce stuff so I will be snatching his stock stuff. Got an offer to sell my nitrous kit so I might do that and buy a clutch or wheels. Not too sure what I want to do yet. Decisions lol. I really like to try to get a 11 as is if possible.

Back at you brother.

didn't get a message back lol

Should have one on your phone lol

I notice the attitude started over on LS1gto.com years ago and was never stifled by the moderators so that now it has become customary and cool to condescend/diminish LS1 equipped GTOs. Typically it was voiced by the more obnoxious Lounge lizard types compensating for I do not know what. Reminds me of something I read years ago..."Until the advent of the Internet, I never realized how many unstable, irrational people there are in this country."

Exactly. And it seems every other person says I should have waited a year and got an 05 lol

what's the specs on the cam? I want to check into it...sounds like a winner too me

236/248 .617 .617 on 110. Trex killer

damn that's a big one with stock heads and stock compression

Yeah buddy lol
