Alan did a great job with the tune! Results in the sig. That was with a stock throttle body. Added a ported one, so it should breath alot better now. The cam definately sounds awesome!! We just need fix the tranny.

Hey guys,
Just got back from that car show, 5 cars! haha this weather sucks. It's suppose to be an ongoing thing so maybe it'll be better next week. I don't know if this is a try at being better than BK or what, but I'll prolly check both out next weekend.

Ben- those are great numbers, I tried calling you tonight but I think you gave me the wrong number ( on purpose? ) haha just kidding. Sucks about your tranny. What color is your Hawk? I saw a nice white one at Petsmart today, I couldn't find the owner though.
Hope this weather clears up so everyone can actually meet. Everyone enjoy your week.

Congrats. Sounds similar to my car. I put down 431hp 382tq unlocked through my auto. I am hoping for 450hp ~400tq with the mods I am finishing up. What kind of stall/gears you running on that beast?

Luke,

Sorry man. We were a little under the weather yesterday and fell asleep on the couch. I guess we needed to the sleep. The drive back and forth form Futral Friday night tired us out too. We had good intentions. And your right, I guess I did give you the wrong number. . Instead of 43, it's 34. Sorry about that man. I really hope the weather clears up next weekend, I want to get the cars out! I figured the turn out was going to be crappy when I went outside at 10 last night and saw all the fog. Oh, and the Hawk, is stealthy black!

It has a SY3500 for now and stock gears. I think we are going to go TH400 with a transbrake since her tranny is about done!!! I think it is robbing some hp too. And it definitely needs stickier tires. Anything above 3500 on these tires and it lights them up!!! What H/C combo do you have in yours?

I have a variation of the TREX cam 243.3/249.5 108.7 and the TEA 5.3 nitrous port stage 1.5's. It has been tuned for the spray and put down the 431rwhp on 25.0 degrees of timing. I have been playing around with it though and hopefully adding the Meziere and some 1 7/8 headers with extensions will get me a bit closer to 450.

Hey guys,
I just got my 2001 Black WS6 about 3 weeks ago and have already begun the mods. I would love to get together sometime for a cruise. I go to Holt just about every weekend. If any of you were ever out there last year I drove a Black '99 GTP that ran 8.40's to 8.60's depending on the weather. I also competed in the street bracket program on Saturday night last year and finished 3rd. If any one wants to get together for a cruise to Holt on a T&T night just hit me up. It would be sweet to roll into the track with 10-15 Fbodies.

That sounds like a pretty cool setup! I'd like to see that some time. That cam has to sound nasty in that thing! What headers are you planning on?

Patrick,

Congrats on the new purchase!!! You made a great choice, if might say so. (I'm a little partial too. ) Raegan and I will be hitting up Holt and the surrounding tracks here soon. Once we get fully settled in to the house and a few more things straight with the cars, we will be heading out there. Would be nice to have some F-Bodies to crusie to the track with.

Is anyone heading out to BK/Beall's/Big Lots tonight? Should be a nice night to get out and meet people in the area.

Hey guys,

Been a while since I checked this thread.

I am going to switch to QTP 1 7/8. I have QTPs now but they are the 1 3/8 race only.

BTW this setup was born in Cantonment.

I remember that car. Pretty quick for a GTP. Back a couple years ago there was a guy with a white one that used to run up there all the time. Saw him on Mary Esther cutoff at probably one in the morning after tracking it all night. Raced him the entire cutoff and part of Beal it was damn fun. Those things get loud when you mod the blower

Yeah I sold him some headers and stuff of my wrecked GTP. I raced him tonight from a 45 roll and he got me by a car length @ 110mph. All I have though is a lid, Powershot and the Ram Air hood baffles removed. He still hasn't beat my best 1/8 mile ET in my GTP of 8.41. His best is 8.45. He traps more than I ever did but Horsepower is useless unless you can put it to the ground. I almost wish I didn't sell my stuff to him because now I thinking of getting another GTP for my daily driver. GTP's is probably the baddest family car. I do love the fact that I didn't have much more that I could do to my GTP and it runs what My WS6 does pretty much stock.

Go with the stall. That will net better results than headers will. You will need to get your torque management programmed out but speed inc can do that for 150.

lilone's right. Go with the stall. And good luck with getting the TA.

Looks like it will be time to start hitting the track again in the next month or so. My LME Pro 408 should be home in a few weeks! A little time to get the motor's swapped and tuned, and off to the track for some fun! Who all in the area goes to the track often? ie Holt, Gulfport, etc.
