Vortech 5.0 Foxbody vs 2001 Z06 Foxbody on 12lbs of boost and weight of 2900lbs and had no passenger. Z06 has mods in sig and had a passenger. 30 roll and didn't race all that long. He is a 1/4 mile guy. I think I would have started pulling him up top pretty good. I had to start in second because of traction issues so slow start for me.

I beleive its just a stockish 5.0. All he reall said was it had a vortech on 12lbs. Kinda surprised me though i've never really seen foxbody's run that strong. I guess i should have expected it tho one 12lbs of boost he is prob making god powet and its very light. We went from a launch the first time and of course he stomped me with him having a drag setup and me on street tires. My next mod will be dr's and i'll probably start peicing all the stuff together to do a cam swap.

A ported fast setup is worth 10-15whp over the LS6 setup. But you can always port the ls6 intake to scrap a few extra ponies out of it. When do you want to come dyno out my way?

If you have a stock ls6 intake I could easily see picking up 15+ by changing to a ported fast.

Good kill sweet99ss!
Do you still have your dyno sheet? Just asking because I hear of these 15whp+ gains on stock or bolt-on cars but can never find any factual data or before and aft dyno results 
I went from a ported ls6 to a ported fast 90 and picked up 13rwhp @ peak.....more than that in places with tuning. I changed them on the dyno. So it was a back to back. Seat of the pants was a pretty good change to.
If you have a stock ls6 intake I could easily see picking up 15+ by changing to a ported fast.

Real good race.
If that Foxbody only has 12 lbs and exhaust on a rather stock motor, I think that's a pretty good running 5.0. Them stock 5.0 E7 heads seriously only flow around 155cfm on the intake and 105cfm on the exhaust @.500" lift and pretty much die out there. They are all kinds of pathetic on a hardcore level.
