How fast can you go if you use a torgue arm relocation bracket to move the Factory torque arm off the trans and add SFC.. but other than that have all GM factory suspension?

In the 1/4? or top speed? Kinda vague there.

every bit of 170 at the least ive been there about 4 times with no trouble

Damn. I have been to 160 once. Front end felt kinda light. That or it was just me. If it was getting light its prolly because of where it pulls air for the radiator.

the front probably was lifting thats the only problem i felt before i lowered my car, that and a vibration from a bad alignment but the ss and ws6s have a little stiffer susp than the rest so there a little better at high speeds. i took about a 10 degree swooping turn at about 145 and the car felt stable al the way through. lowering it really helped the lift

If you are talking about top speed. Then there is a member on here who has a STOCK WS6, aside from cooling mods, that went 173mph.

So lowering did make a difference in the way it felt? What worries me about going that fast as far as aerodynamics and lift is concerned, is that the fbody is considered a "bottom breather" with that air dam to direct airflow into the radiator. Now another question is, where does a corvette pull air from? From under the car like the fbody does? Or from somewhere else?

They get their air underneath too.

after i lowered my car i think it actually pulls air better into the radiator, because, there is less space now between the road and the air dam so its kinda like ram air for ur radiator. i went to 170+ in a trans am non ws6 and it felt good. my friend has a 99 ss and that car felt great above 150 like it was made for it. we we radard at 169 and we and the car was still pulling hard. his is an automatic also for some reason his 99 ss pulled super hard after 145

How can you tell if it was 170 when the speedometer only reads 150mph.

firebatbirdv8

read the post right before that one i said by police radar

firebatbirdv8

ok thanks cos i new these cars were way faster than speedo reading.

actually my car stock didnt want to go above 145 very easy after i put headers with a y pipe and no exhaust after that and a tune is when it started wanting to really see the big numbers

i meant in the 1/4 mile i prolly should have stated that but top speed is always fun... on the way to the track haha

oh, well thats a question for the 10 second club, im sure there r a few on there with stock stuff.

Mine got light right before topping out the speedo and I backed off but I will give it another shot before too long. I am curious what the suspension mods will do to it in a straight line. I already know what it did for the twistys Strano is DA MAN!!
