I had a situation where I recently bought a bank repoed 02 WS6 in Wyomissing, PA. Couldnt get previous owner history from the bank. Car had open headers on it when I bought and really couldnt tell much about the way it ran. I did take a ORY and a bullet and bolted it on to hear it run. Long story short.... After getting the car home and getting exhaust on the car....it was clear it had been cammed and some sort of tune done. After some creative begging the bank gave me enough info to track down previous owners Dad. He lived in Birdsboro and said his son took the car to a local shop and had some engine work done and he couldnt think of the shop name right off. What he did remember was the shop had the worlds fastest TA.
After researching a little online I found Rapid Motorports was REAL close to them. Called back mentioned Rapid Motorsporst and Dad said that was it. Man I was really excited now.
After emailing back and forth with Mike... he finds the records on the car and the work that was done. I cant tell you guys what a blessing this was for me! I had no idea what was done internally on the motor....was looking at pulling it back apart if I couldnt find out. Mike at Rapid Motorsports came through BIG for me!! He didnt have to take his precious time to do this, but he did. He is very busy with his business. He has emailed me several times now. If he wasnt 10 hours away...the car would be there right now getting a dyno tune, which it needs.
You PA guys are very fortunate to have a shop of this caliber in your area. He is a site sponsor here and has a awesome reputation. My car runs really good for not having a dyno tune(which previous owner couldnt afford at the time the work was all done) and just a street tune right now. Mike did a really clean install also. If anyone is wondering what was done to the car....here it is...
1..Rapid Dominator 2 Series Cam Kit
231/239 on a 113 w/ 0.617/0.624
If Im reading right...this comes with
Chrome Moly Pushrods, Manley Dual Springs, Manley Ti Retainers, Manley Steel Spring Seats and new GM valve seals.
2.. GM HD Timing chain set was installed
3.. Rapid Ported LS6 oil pump
4.. Fuel filter
5.. Oil change with Mobil 1 and new filter
6.. Street tuning
Other work done...
Pace Setter LT's
Pace Setter ORY (no cats)
Magnaflow Catback
K&N
SLP Lid
SLP MAF
Its a 02 WS6 M6 and allready has the LS6 intake. I have also verified it has the LS6 block.
So Big thanks to Mike!!
I will post back here with my dyno tune results as soon as that happens. Im trying to get that scheduled now
