I couldn't stand being without a LS1 daily driver (the red TA is more of a weekend car now), so I started looking for another one. My dad and I found one in Alabama a few weeks back and drove it home.

The car is a 2000 Black WS6 TA, 6-speed, with pretty high mileage (119k miles). I really was curious to see what kind of power it made 100% stock, so I put it on the dyno after work.

To my amazement, it pulled 296rwhp/323rwtq with looked to be the orginal airfilter! After letting the car cool and no filter, it pulled 306rwhp/327rwtq! Not bad for 119k miles. lol

I say I'm not going to mod the car much, but you know how that goes. I have already installed a B&M Ripper (got rid of POS factory Hurst), 1LE front/rear sway bars, and BMR LCAs.... mainly because all the factory bushing were showing some age.

For reference, the red car only did 289/305 when it was stock. lol

I don't see too many people posting bone stock #s on high mileage cars, so I thought everyone would be pretty interested in them.

not bad will see if it stays close to stock or not

 

thats awesome for a motor with that many miles on it! great find!, btw if you dont mind, how much did you pay for it?

 

looks good, my 2000 put out high #'s to!

 

I wouldn't be suprised if Jason posted this thread, walked outside, and started installing heads/cam on it. My guess is that we have a 450rwhp dyno from the car "he isn't going to mod" next week.

 

Those are nice #'s for an LS1 with all of those miles.

 

Don't you have some heads/cam coming off your car soon.... hmmmmm

Thanks guys! I paid 11k for the car. Even with the mileage, the car is in awesome shape. An older lady was the original owner for the 119k miles. It even has the orginial clutch it in believe it or not! It still barks 4th pretty good.


Jason

 

God damn, is that thing peaking at like 5300? Mine peaked up around 5900-6000.

 

dont try to bark those tires much in 4th with the original clutch unless you wanna kiss it good bye. mine used to do that then i tried to go into 3rd one and and that ol clutch didnt like that much. why do you say the hurst is a pos? ive got mine with a cutsom short stick i made and everyone that sits in my car and feels how it is loves it. most of the others have the pro 5.0 though

 

By this time next year, I would be willing to bet he will have gone through at least 3 different clutches!!!!

 

the stock hurst rocks, if you have it, your ahead of the game, bo buy a lss or a jss for 20 bucks and its friggin perfection!! perfect height and all

 

damn right

 

Beleive me(no punn intended) when I say , Jason is the last person that any one on here needs to give advice to on shifting and what shifter to run.

That Focker can shift

 

A night after he got the car, he was trying to race me all the way down Seigen Lane in BR (didn't know it was me because of the tint). It kind of looked like Jason driving, but I wasn't 100% sure (didn't know he bought the car yet) until I saw him take off from the redlight -- then i knew.

 

Thanks guys. Shifter choice really all comes down to personal preference. I have used the B&M Ripper in the red TA for the last 5 years and couldn't be happier with it.

Oh and John, you are making me regret giving you that 1k mile old LS6 clutch. Time to pay up punk.

Jason

 

nice #s for the milage

how did the 1le's help ya out

 

The 1LE bars did help some. It was noticeable, but nothing drastic. The car needs SFCs and new springs/shocks BAD. That's next on the suspension list.

Jason

 

Yea he couldn't drive my car either..kept mising a gear

So what "major" mod is first? It won't be stock for long

 

LOL.. damn Hurst shifter!!

Nothing major at this point, only a couple bolt ons for awhile. I have to finish the red car first!!

 

yea sure, bolt ons to you is anything that is held in by bolts, via, cams, heads, and so on, ill believe you that the red one will get done first but, after you make its trial runs i wont hold my breath for the new one to stay stock.
as for shifters ive had the b&m ripper since i bent the housing on the stock one it is a awsome shifter
