My current set up 2002 m6 T/A
TSP 1-7/8 LT's
3in ORY
SLP Lm2
NGK TR-55+Super conductors
Volant CAI
Ported TB
Fast 78
Flat hood ram air mod for Volant box
Tune
Poly mounts
Royal purple fluids
Hurst short throw
Free mods

Is there anything else I can add to help maximize the gains I will see when I cam my car (tick sns stage 3)? The car will get 3.73's and the fast will get ported during cam install. Right now the car is running abnormally strong and is walking away from other similarly modded ls1's. Thoughts on any other bolt on I can add would be much appreciated!

Underdrive pulley

VandykeT/A

Honestly I think the bottom feeding intakes like the chrs1313 set ups are more efficient and an underdrive pulley would help other than that I think you've got it covered. I also wouldn't bother with a 373. I had them when I was bolt ons and then went 410. Best move I ever made. My cam only camaro (torquer 2) got 25mpg on the interstate with 410s.

+1 for the ram air I cut out a section of my hood that feeds cold air directly into the Volant box ill post up pics shortley maybe yall can give me some feed back on it. I havent seen any other flat hood T/A owners with the Volant box do it.

Another vote for the pulley.

Also missing Electric water pump. Just another idea.

Any recommendations on some good pulleys that have a dampner built in that don't cost an arm and a leg? Also will this affect my ac or my alternators ability to recharge? I have a system in my car.

I run a SLP and have been happy with it. I don't have any charging problems, but I don't have an aftermarket stereo; I've got a M6, too.

BBK makes an underdrive pulley with overdrive alternator pulley kit. You may want to give that a try if you're at all concerned.

I'd port the fast 78 and open the opening to 85mm and get an 85 mm tb. A stock fast 78 isn't worth much over an ls6. And I also agree on the underdrive

Mine came with a ASP underdrive crank pulley, and it works great. Did not affect my ac or anything for that matter

powerbond. your idle might need adjusting.


also, if you want you can add a cutout for a little more power. any suspension upgrades?

Shiftslow

Nope no suspension mods I bought the car with aftermarket struts but that's it this car will probably never see a dig race until I buy a 9in rear end way down the line I do a lot of 30 and 40ish rolls so I felt it wasn't appropriate to upgrade my suspension yet......thoughts?

if you have good tires you should be fine with boltons and traction racing from 30-40.

Cool thanks for the input guys

mickeys and a zo6 clutch.

I didnt see an EWP, RR's, or UD Pulley on that list. I would just go heads/cam and be done with it instead of doing the little 3-5 hp mods that you cant even tell a difference.

I also have an SLP pulley.....one of the few quality parts they make.

Budget for a clutch also....it might be ok after your cam or it might not. I know my stock clutch gave out at 420rwhp on the dyno with 18k miles on it. Don't bother with a LS7 clutch either, go straight for a Monster or TDP stage 2 or 3. I got my TDP stage 2 on sale for $100 more than an LS7 and it drives like stock...good for 600hp.

^I agree with the above. I bought a Monster Stage 2 clutch w/ 18lbs flywheel, Tick Master, new slave, etc. through Tick Performance and it's been the best thing I've done to my Vette. The clutch has never stuck, gotten mushy, etc. and that lightweight flywheel free's up the rpm's quite a bit, but it's not light enough to affect drivability. When you do the clutch it's an awesome time to do the rear main seal too since that's a weak spot for leaks. On the underdrive pulley, I've used a Powerbond on my ws6 and my Vette and hav never had an issue. I bought both of mine through Scoggin Dickey. $250 gets you a 25% underdrive pulley, ac and acessory belt, and ARP bolt. While you're doing your pulley you can also buy a front seal and do that while you're there as well.

You're not maxed out yet....

Ditch the FAST 78. You should go FAST 92/92, UDP, Turn One pump...
