probably more like 106-107 with weight of the GP and gearing. My vette trapped 110 with about 330rwhp with the same gearing -400lbs.

 

how much does your vette weigh?

 

without me in it, with IIRC a half tank it weighed 3180.

 

thats a lot lighter!

 

What.

 

that's that aluminum frame for ya. Yeah, that thing was a dog out of the hole. I couldn't even get the tires to squeek at all. Best 60' was like 2.03.

 

Dealer tried to sell me a 05 vette before I bought my car, but it was a std vette with a auto. so, I was like oh........... hell no! Sometimes, I think I might have been better off though. We have aluminum frames too. I've seen many vettes at the track, and it seems like most people don't know how to drive them. I'm sure you know what your doing, but am shocked to see a 2.0 with IRS.

 

yeah man I tried everything. Is just the 2.73 gear and 1800 stall leave much to be desired in the 60'ft. Not to mention it was opening day so the track was prepped really well too. Just put it to the floor is all I could do. Later on that year I realized the 2.73's actually worked out pretty well when I hooked up the spray, could spray in 1st and still get decent traction.

Don't the gxp's weigh about 3600?

 

Push comes to shove, you could always put in a request to Dough Thorleys to fab up a custom crossover pipe.

 

haha right?? lost in translation much?

 

I last dynoed at 313 i think 330 is reachable. Our track is 2 hours away and its only cheap on friday nights so i need to go on a friday night which i never have off
PLEASE DONT TELL ME THE HEADERS WONT FIT WITH AN LS6 INTAKE!!!!

 

I just got all of my **** together, to do a complete bolt on swap. So, now I might be ***-ed out. I might have to cut the pipe and install a flex tube with two clamps and have an exhaust shop fab up that section with a slight downward bend.

 

the fasted LS4 (supercatxr7) trapped 106.8 with k&n, ported intake, rockers, 3"dp. He had nowhere near 330hp so 108 should be easy with headers and ls6 intake.

this was before his big mods so don't go by the mods in the sig

 

My car put down 238hp@ the wheels before tuning with just a downpipe and I was traping 99.8mph with my rear tires maxed out and gas light on. I was told that 10hp at the wheels is about a 1mph gain in the 1/4.

 

I believe he cut a 13.0 on DRs too.




My times for last night were a 13.4 @ 102.5 spinning...

 

Good ****, street tires?

Damn I wish I could have gotten the headers!

 

Yup, sumitomos lol

 

I'm almost done installing and should wrap it up tomorrow. That trans tube bolt is evil. I took it out with a 3/8 drive 10mm,universal,24inch extension from the top but had to put it back on blind hugging the driver side engine cradle using two hands and a little 10mm ratcheting combo wrench like 2 clicks at a time.

I got a shorter alternator bracket bolt for the firewall driver side and now my valve cover comes out no problem. Didn't have to mess around with the fan belt.

Overall it's probably a 2-3 day project for the weekend warrior with much cursing/refreshing in between.

 

I thought I was the only one who thought cursing the vehicle and part being replaced was standard in all instructions.

 

I'm sore and my hands have a few scrapes. You would have to be a magician to do it in 4hrs, but it is doable for a normal person. Maybe if the old exhaust was already off you could put them on in 4. It's like 1hr putsing with the air intake, spark plug wires, strut bar, rear coils and valve cover, old downpipe, crossover etc. The front mani is pretty easy except the bolt by the coolant temp sensor. The rear is a fun time.
