Gear up an M6 and voila. Just like stalling an A4.

Good runs man. What's the raceweight?

havent weighed it yet. its a stripper car with the backseat gone, that it. if whatever broke in the rear last night is an easy fix, we will see how an ls6 cam does with a set of dart 225's this weekend.

116mph is VERY good for an LS6 cam, 11.89 aint too shabby either. Bet that 1.61 felt nice, I wish I knew what it felt like more often.

eehh not quite.

put a big stall auto on a 1.61 short time with a 115 mph trap speed and tell me you don't see 11.50s. there is more to a converter than the first 60'.

The LS6 cam is too small for dart 225 heads and you won't see the full potential of the heads. I would look into getting a bigger cam with those heads.

I will have to agree here. You need a bigger cam with those heads. Welcome to the 11 second club.

i already have the cam picked out guys, thanks for the advice though. its more a "wonder exactly how good the ls6 cam would do with a set of heads... ehh lets try it" and i will swap the cam in a few months

our DA isnt any better than yours in your sig at the moment unfortunatly

David, WTF you break now, 11.89 aint to shabby

my pig with some boltons and the 4.10's did 12.3 on 245nittos @113, i figure i could have done 11.90's on some stickies with the last 2 boltons but prob not any more mph, just better launch. I was 600lbs heavier back then


i think you got 11.60's in the car if you werent running in 100degree humid summer air

I've gone 1.63 and 115 mph with my former 3600 stalled A4 car, lifted the left wheel just about an inch or so and still ran 11.8s. I would hope that a big stalled auto would do better than a 1.61 cause it would need low 1.5s to run 11.5 at 115.

a 4400 stalled car will out 1/8 mile a 3600 car with the same 60' by quite a bit.

3600 isn't a "big stall"

No **** sherlock, thanks for enlightening me. Now go look at the bolt on list and show me 1 11.5 at 115 mph A4 car with a 1.61 60'. There ain't none. So what was your point again? eehhh Oh that's right, you had none.
