I know most go with gears on an M6 but I was just curious what guys with an M6 and stock 3.42's are running with cams or not. I am just getting the feel of my Z28 at the dragway and ran a 12.70 @113 last night 2.0 60ft 1/8 was 8.3 @ 88mph. I know I have plenty room for improvement so I was just looking for some times from better drivers.

I usually run it at the autocross on the weekends so I like to keep it a kinda "best of both worlds" if you konw what I mean. No gears or 12 bolt.

I did just recieve in the mail a new set of poly/rod LCA's from LG and a T2R differential that I will install this weekend.

Thanks

bolt ons and G5X-2, stock 3.42s=== M6
11.82 @120 with a 2.0 60ft

Thanks for the reply. I was beginnig to think nobody had 3.42's. That is an incredible time with only a 2.0 60ft. I guess that LG cam is the **** that everyone says it is. I just can't go that big on a daily driver. I am assuming this was with slicks though huh?

Two years ago I ran 12.28 at 116mph with stock heads, T1 cam, Mac headers, 17 inch drag radials, and a 2.0 60ft. My car dyno'd 390rwhp/380rwtq back then. I personally think my car was special, because I use to race cars on the street that ran 11's and they could not beat me on the street.

I ran 13.29 @ 106.7 with a blistering 2.2 60'. I was spinning almost all the way through 1st (I don't like to lift.) No bolt-ons, no free mods, stock shifter, 3.42's, 25,000 mile Goodyears, not even a lid or K&N, and it was my first time racing on an actual dragstrip. I was kinda surprised at myself.

Vince, I remember researching the T1 cam on here and reading about your car. Helped me decide to get this cam and my Macs . Got the macs used. I think as soon as I get rid of my cats and the LS1 intake the car will put more power down. Probably not 390 but I think at least 375 to 380. I like the torque way down low with this cam for sure.

Thanks for the reply.

That is a good time completely stock. I was only able to get 13.4. If you get your 60ft. down you will have yourself some high 12's.

Good luck.

Sounds like you run about the same times as me, though I've got a few more HP, but less tq (go figure, reverse your hp/tq, and you've got my numbers). I can't get a decent 60' with these gears, and my skill, and trying to keep from blowing up the rear. Best I ever get is like a high 2.0. Best time was a 12.66@113. The real killer of the 3.42s I think, is shifting at 6300-6400, I have to make the 3-4 shift literally like 60' before the finish, and the shift time, along with the motor falling out of the powerband are costing me at least a few tenths.

The T1/B1 definitely have potential, I know a guy who's gone 11.6@119 with a B1, and putting down almost the exact same numbers as me. So in my case, the car's ability is there, the driver's just happens to be absent

apexman

Yeah, I think the car will go faster as I get a little better at driving it. I usually shift (factory tach) at about 6100. My peak power is made at 5500 for some reason (LS1 intake?) and drops off by 6200. So, I don't have to shift as high. I plan on changing the intake and cutting off the factory cats really soon. I know those factory cats are killing me and they are toast after the other night!

Off the stock internals list:

my best was a 12.63 @ 114. and the 1/8 was 8.28 @ 89. I have heads but the rear end is all stock. the 60' was a 2.096. the biggest problem i have is the f1 tires. they just don't cut it, but i'm not about to take a chance with slicks and stock rear end. We got ppl around here putting 4.10's and 4.56's in the stock 10 bolt w spec stg3 clutch and bfg's and trying to dump at 3500 rpm's it just doesn't last..i'd rather have a bit slower time for now then have to be switching gears every other weekend..

This isn't exactly what you asked but I ran a 12.574 @ 108.34 1/4 and a 8.04 @ 87.5 1/8 with stock internals with GMS MAF, Hpp3, SLP lid, Borla exhaust, shortie headers, and a Yank 2800 stall. Stock 3.23 rear end and on stock F-1's

At one time Derek I was curious to how much cats would cost me. I put them back on the car and I lost 20rwhp. I made no other changes but the cats. I took them back off and I regained that same 20rwhp.. The T1 is a awesome all around cam. After all this modding I kind of miss my first setup.

I ran a 12.03 at 116.xx mph with a C1 cam. Stock heads,SLP Lt's, cutout open and ET Streets. 98 z28 M6 with 3.42's.

apexman

Great times everybody! Good to know you can still get down the 1320 with 3.42's, a M6 and saome great driving skills.

I ran 12.04 @ 117.4 with 3.42s. My car is boltons with TR230. This cam really needs a gear. This time was also on Nittos with a 1.94 60'.
