Was wondering what kind of times he should be running. He's got a 98 M6 ws6 full bolt on's heads and cam and an sts turbo. He went to NED wednesday and ran a 12.5 on slicks?? Just doesnt sound right to me.

I do that with a stall, lid, and headers. What was his mph?

i saw it go a couple runs. i think some of it is driver, and some of it is the way the car is set up.
i'll take it for a rip and see

Your talking about the guy in Salem.ET streets won't hok well on a Friday plus he needs a ton of practise with the M6.Give the car to someone that can drive a M6 and you'll see what it can really do.

Hey Who is this loser? I wanna rag on him too!!!!


Ok so I never said I did not suck I just keep adding power to compesate for it
This was my FIRST time with slicks and anyone with an M6 knows that there is a certain "finesse" with launching!!
I need to RE-learn what I am doing. With street tires I launched gently, and still LITERALLY spun 3/4 of the track, if I tried to speed shift, the car would blow out sideways. With the slicks I now realize I need to rev higher coming off the line, and I don't need to shift so gently, cause the tires will grab. Also there is a dead spot in my RPM range so when I came off the line I kept falling right into it, so I bogged, then hesitated, and then took off. I tried my last pass for more RPM and not to "dump" so hard, but the LS7 clutch just did not care for that at all!
I didn't build this as a drag car and I think I got to the track twice last year, so ya I need practice. 119.6 MPH should be in the high 400's for HP yes?


Brad, I would appreciate you running my car and giving me some insight,any tips on launching would also be great, I need to get over my fear of blowing **** up.

Don, can you help me with the hesitation? it happens around 3500 RPM If it is the MAF I will dump it! I am trying to research SD, it is just on a list...A very long unending list. I got the MAP sensor for a SC cobalt, and I got the AEM gauge to work on EFIlive. Still hard to learn after work though. I am sure you understand that.

And as for you "buddy" Have your fun.....I can't launch at the track, but remember, all you will see is my taillights on 95 coming home.

Last I heard Brad forgot how to drive M6 cars

Alot of stuff on that car has to be tossed like the EGR,AIR ect. Then the Mass air is probly full of oil or mist. The PCV system is disconnected?
The LS7 clutch won't hold a hard Turbo luanch. Then the grand ending -4.11 gears definitely don't help.Should have the stock 3.42's.

Yes, SD will help also.

Noyzee

iTrader: (37)

nope, im back in the swing of things!!
ive done alot with 6 speeds over the winter spring so i beat on them, and now owning the vett i get alot more seat time.
it was like ridding a bike, it came right back to me

as for the car, yhea it needs to be gutted of all the crap it doesnt need.

a good clutch and 3:42's or 3:73 for sure
a turbo style cam wouldnt hurt, i think its a 224 cam tho which isnt bad.

Driving easy seems to get me slow times, but on a positive note, I am on my second clutch in 9 years 90,000 miles. Swing by the shop and I will put the car on the lift and you can check it out, and I know it was a joke....I Didn't even come and blow donuts in front of your work....YET

Gonna do a full exhaust and a lid and I think thats it! Till stuff starts breakin, but with 9000 miles it might be awhile.
