i just aquired a 99 ta with a ls6 in it. i know it was like out of a 04 z06. i havnt drove it yet because of a clutch. i rode in my buddies 01 firebird with a ls1, a4 and a tune. ran pretty good. im just wondering how mine should feel with this combo being a 15k mi ls6, m6, bone stock in a 78k mi ta? of course it should run better than a stock ls1 ta im assuming. what is yalls thoughts?

 

Should have about 50 more hp.

 

Start putting some mods to it..

 

the ls6 block has better oiling system than the ls1. It also has better flowing heads and a little bigger cam. The ls1 was rated at 325 hp and the ls6 is rated at 385.

 

Actually, the later LS6 was rated at 405hp.

 

so i have a good platform to start on?

 

Hell yah man and since yours is M6 thats make it damn good just go with Bolt-ons as we all do then through a camshaft in it and enjoy the hell outta of it

Btw whats the problem w/Clutch ?!

peace

 

You have a GREAT platform to start on. The engine you have has better crank windage control, more aggressive cam, sodium filled valves..the 243 heads with an LS6 intake...its bad ***.

 

Hell its probly puttin more power to the ground than a c5z stock for stock since ya dont have irs. Start slappin bolt ons to it and a wicked tune and i bet you could be in cam only fbody teritory easy.

 

slave is out. i got it for....well really cheap... it runs just fine. imma change the clutch, slave and master out as soon as i get some cash from selling my little civic or silverado

 

I swapped an '03 LS6 into my car after I hydrolocked the LS1 and was really dissappointed when I drove it for the first time. It seemed to have less power in the lower revs. Even my first trip down the 1320 left me saying to myself "that sucked", until I got my timeslip......12.55@112 on Goodyear Eagles with nothing more than a mailorder tune and cat-back! It seems like the LS6 really wakes up on the top end.
