I don't think so. Lots of 6.0 guys are running low 11s. Some of the mustang guys are running much faster than that with near stock 6.0s.

118 is really fast, trap speed is a great determiner of hp

I've seen a lot of guys running 105 -110

It is exponentially more difficult to run higher and higher speeds due to aerodynamics/wind resistance etc. I'm sure someone out there knows this stuff better than I do - running 130 takes double the power it takes to run 100 or something like that. Lots of people are excited about their E.T. but the trap speed reveals a lot.

Speak for yourself. There are a lot of people running faster than 118 MPH right here on the forum with Cam only engines. Every 6.0 I have built except my wagon (only 116 MPH because it weighs 3700 lbs with driver) has run over 118 and my Dakota with a 6.0 run 121.98 N/A at 3400 lbs with driver.

I think the reason for no response is that 6.2's are expensive. They are pretty much double the price of a LY6. Personally, I'd rather save the money and spend it elsewhere.
