What can be expected from ported LS6 heads?
A cam that will run "mid-low 11's" will have a fair amount of overlap so it will be noticeable. You can try to hide it with a stock exhaust but that will choke power to an extent. Just run no2 and be done with it then or get a cheatr and run some 12's
DJ you have a strong running car but stealthy it aint

I wanted at least 11.5's or lower, SOMBitch, do you think this can be done with around 420 whp through a stall? My car is almost touching 11.9's as it sits with no weight reduction so I figure an extra 60 rwhp should drop 5 tenths, am I just being too optimistic??? 
Maybe it is in your car because some cars just seem to react to mods better than others When I had was making 417rwhp with a H/C/I and SS3600 I ran 12.0's and never understood how a buddies F14 cam only SS3600 car beat me every time and ran 11.7/11.8 Part of it I think is being lowered hurt me putting the power down because he out 60' me too but sorry for digressing.Maybe I am wrong and you are on the right track I hope so
I am right up the road from you so let me know when you are gonna hit CP some time and I'll try to meet up...

@ Mike, my car's best with a decent tire was a 12.03 @ 112.7 mph, I have now installed an UDP, ported the throttle body, and seal the airbox to help the cold air induction, I think I have close to 114 trap speeds now, but time will tell when I make my visit to cecil in early May, right before cruise week in O.C.
@ SOMBitch, thank you for the support, are you close to Jacksonville because I would love to meet my clone car, just without all the internal work done lol.
Also surprised your car didn't go faster with the mods, guess i won't be lowering my ride after all.

Yeah Joe I am right up the road in Kinston and swung by CP last weekend since I was already in New Bern that a.m. anyway. That's where I saw DJ's car run Yeah I agree we need to get the clones together lol. Good photo op since not many ROM cars out there
You have a strong car because you are already trapping 1 mph more than my H/C/I car did.....NICE
I finally have my driveline vibration issue solved so the DR's will go on soon and I can get a new ET. Will be crossing fingers the 10 bolt holds

you can go with a much larger cam and still be stealthy. i dont think a cheater will get you into low 11's, that cam is probly good for 25 hp. i may be wrong but i thin k that cam is onoly like 215 degrees of duration. you just need a wider LSA to keep it stock sounding

I made 414/372 with P+P'd 243 heads from Wheel 2 Wheel (bought off member here.) Also with a PatG Cam and LS6 intake with ported stock TB. In the process of a 102/102 swap now. I should have numbers by June. (Gotta save $$$ for a dyno tune) Ran a 12.13 my second time ever at the track. The thing that gets me is when people say "Well, at your power level, you won't notice much of a gain by switching intakes or injeectors." 
My power is low BECAUSE of the damn intake AND my injectors being maxed out! Ahhem, ported STOCK TB!

@ SOMBitch, I'll send you a pm as soon as the car gets outta the shop, let a friend with a cobra drive my car and kinda let it get outta hand, enough to hit a tree...
He had never driven a car that powerful before he said lol. It should be back around the beginning of march.
To the above posters: Some of you are maybe misunderstanding, I will be running a CheatR cam with ported 243 heads, which I think is enough to touch mid 11's. Should be around 410-420 whp through the stall.

^^Yessir!!!^^^ Ported LS6 heads can be had on a budget it seems versus Patriot or AFR heads, still debating on Cheatr vs Custom grind, but the first goal I had before doing so was to touch 11's which will be as soon as I get the car outta the shop. When it's all said and done with the new hood I should be saving 100 lbs off the curb weight . Considering i hit a 12.03 at a little over 113 before I have high hopes this next time around.
