Totally off question, but being only 19, where did you get the money for all those mods?

Those are some awesome Mods you have. I couldn't understand in your post if those were you "future mods" or you already have them. Good luck on running that beast. Its got a strong setup.

Looks good but you will need bigger injectors. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Also LS1edit tuning would help a lot.
Finally you are going to deafen yourself with no muffler on that catback LOL
Cheers,

I'd estimate 480-500 rwhp thru the 12-bolt. You sound like you have lightened the car a bit, so I'd guess mid-high 10s if you can hook and hit the gears well.

On nitrous, I'd expect low 10s @ 135 mph or so.

MTI gets 500rwhp++ out of their 422's with the bigger cam. with the R1 they can easily get 485-490. And thats not even LS6 heads. Just seems like a mismatch because you read the boards too much. you're better off actually talking to a shop (like MTI) and seeing what they think.

Also, Im not sure you're like driving around with no cats and a loudmouth...it sounds like poop. but from the looks of the rest of the list (steering wheel, seats, etc) you dont plan on driving THAT much...

either way Id ditch the springs for HAL shocks and their front springs and stuff in some 28" tires and use 4.10's. its a matter of opinion, but you wont hook on the juice with 26" tires.

jsut my humble opinion

I hope to be in the tens my next summer.

That set up sounds like tens on the spray but if you can't drive then you will not see tens IMO. Practice makes low numbers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

You must put up miles of fences.
I checked out your car...bit ricee lookin for my taste, but it's not my car and we're all different.
Your cam is waaay to small for 422 and ST3 LS6 heads are wasted with small lift camlike that.
Talk to the guys building your motor and they will build you what you need, nothing worse than listening to ten different ideas and the builder putting together a POS.

Give him a break guys. I'm 20, have a house, a 2001 formula, and could afford those mods. Others have it similar.

BTW, I would probably go with a 3.90 gear. Man, you are gonna brak ALOT of **** in that m6 with that setup <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

The shaft wants to turn faster then the rear tires and KA-BOOM LOL.
I would have your tranny rebuilt and get a stronger driveshaft and as far as I know your car came with a LS6 intake from the factory

ok for some answers here, number one yes I know that the 2001 ws6 already came with a ls6 intake i was stating it for people who didn't so don't get cocky! ok also no I don't drive it that much she is a garage queen got to love that. Guess you could say trailer queen to. And I wish I was a male hooker, gettin paid for sex gotta love that. I know there is a few things I need to get but I DON'T sell drugs so a clutch and a few others are going to have to wait just a bit this stuff is expensive! O and i don't put up fence haha I am a corporate officer <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Any clutches and drive shafts you guys recomend?

Why would u buy seats but not a clutch?
U already have nice seats.Get the clutch 1ST or u wont make a single hard run with the car.

I would get stepped headers too.
Looks good but I would run a MTI grind in a MTI 422.

How many fast cars have YOU driven?
13's are alittle different than 10.50's...
Be careful and good luck w/the car....

Wow... what's with all of the violence <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
Just because someone is young and has money doesn't mean they make an illegitimate living.
This day in age, you should all know how many young people make a tremendous living- especially with the dot com boom and the IT industry the way it once was (not so much anymore, but definately picking back up!). All that was required on a HS graduate's part was good timing and knowing the right people, and they just rode the IT/booming market wave all the way along to an excellent and high paying position. But if you want to stick with the male prostitute story that's cool too, much more interesting <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Good luck with the setup, and information from the board is a good thing- but you know what they say about opinions. Take any issues/questions up with the tuner you are using <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
And I do plan on ripping off that second spoiler bud... I just can't let you run the car like that <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />
