i want to beat a stock Z06 vette!!
not the 505 HP obviously, but the older ones. would a tr224/224 - 114lsa, titanium retainers, beehive springs, chromoly pushrods, longtubes, and full boltons do this?? or perhaps another cam? i need to pass smog, and the car is a DD. what do you recommend? Car and mods are in my sig

You need a rear end with a m6 if you want to push lower times on track.
Getting into the 12's with a m6 isn't that hard with bolt ons or cammed, pushing that bit farther down is the tough part.
If only on street, full bolt ons will get you there, then add cam alone will guarantee the win. Heads + cam is like overkill.

are you just assuming that or do you actually have a race under your belt there? cause i'll go ahead and tell you a cam doesnt guarantee anything. my ta vs buddys stock z06 from about a 70 roll wasnt even close. my car made around 380 to the wheels and the z06 just walked away. those things are geared so much better than fbodies that they have a pretty big advantage.

Absolutely NOT true SladeX! Matter in fact the Powerglide and properly built automatic trannies run some of the best times if built correctly. I toast M6s all day that use a similar setup as mine. So be careful what you wish for bro. Happy Hunting!

a full bolt on trans am wont beat a stock z06 example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2LCSuO_dYs here is one with a small cam like the one you want http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It7FaQVb1_U with full bolt ons and a small cam you should take him if u drive pretty well but those z06's even stock are monsters with the weight aero and gearing advatage there very strong.

you need to do some weight reduction, noone has touched on that yet.
the t/a is like 400 lbs heavier than the z06......so you are theoretically need 60-100 more whp to take him out.

it was an 04 z06(a comm.. edition to be exact) bone stock to the paper filter and tires...... and ramsoccer has all bolt ons + cam + 4.10 gear
it was ugly.... but then again... it was from a high roll... (just screwing around on the highway on the way to a mountain run) so aero and the z06 gearing play a huge advantage
