1st kill with the new build
Today was the first day to take the car out after the rebuild, and it sure ran good. Heads,cam, intake,ported tb,converter,long tubes, and a great tune. Sure enough during one of the many passes on the main road we attracted some attention form a Z28 SS. The Z didn't stand a chance. Instant 4000 rpm tires screaming, just ripping the tread off. It felt good to be able to just let off because they didn't even stand a chance. It was well worth all the work put into the car.

Nice!!!!!!!! I can't wait for to order my heads! Got everything I need except the actual L92/LS3 heads to do a LS3 heads/intake swap. Should give me a solid 120+rwhp gain! What numbers did yours put down when they tuned it?

You are correct sir, the ss package can come with upgraded suspension, and the slightly more power can be due to a blackwing lid from slp along with a few other slp and factory goodies.

Good kill, man! It's always fun to test out the new mods by lining up against another car
You're going with a cam too right?

There is no power difference at all. A Z28 can dyno higher than a SS just depends on the car. The suspension is a little different but not enough to talk about. Appearance is the main difference. My Ws6 dyno 328 rwhp stock and 30 minutes later the same year non WS6 T/A dynoed 326 rwhp. Its just depends on the car.

Good Kill OP, sounds like a strong set up.

uh oh! I didn't mean to start a big long discussion about the differences. I have never owned an Fbody and just was trying to get to know the cars a little better. Are you saying that SS's and WS6's have more than just appearence differences?
