if your goals are 110+ traps and 12.99 or quicker...you could easily do that with just an ls6 cam and tune, leaving all else alone.

you could also do that by adding headers + ory / true duals. my gf's full weight 99 t/a m6 traps 108+ with a lid and blowmaster muffler...with her driving

she only traps 82 in the 1/8 then busts a 108 in the 1/4. i think the car could go faster, but she won't let me drive it.

My 60' sucked, 2.350 and I got the time in sig. The only other thing is on that run along with others. I tapped the brake on the 2-3 and 3-4 shift.

But I was told that would not make that much of a difference.
You should be able to make your ET goal with an LS6 intake manifold, underdrive pulley and a little bit of driving practice. You might be able to make it with nothing but slightly better weather and a lot of practice. Your goal should be a 2.0X 60'. I know a guy that ran his M6 SS a total of about 113 times before finally getting a 2.0X 60'.........but he got there.

Thats wierd. My 1/8th trap speed is 83-84, while my best trap was 107.32, Everything else fell in 105-106 range. If I trap higher in the 1/8th, I should trap higher in the 1/4 mi right?

I have the LS6 Intake mani, I am a 2002.


Are there any ill effects of the underdrive pulley? Undercharging, etc.

The thunder CheatR how much additional whp are we looking at?


the tune also save you from haveing to buy sims and tune out all that **** you dont want like cags and traction control so know 120 off just for the sims and its only like 280 for a tune you cant buy parts that make 15-20 horses for 280 and plus your time to install or the money to get it installed its totally worth it dude
