I test drove a 2000 trans am WS6 today and I was impressed. I currently have a 94 A4 Z28 with LT's, Matching Y-pipe, LT4 KM and a CAI. I ran an 8.4 in the 1/8 and didn't have the best 60'.

I think this trans am would pull on my car up top. (Maybe even in the 1/8) The motor felt very strong, but the car was in sh*tty condition. Anyway, I was wondering what else I can do to my car to be next to that TA up top? What more do I need to be at that kind of speed? (Maybe I'm pretty close right now, but it felt like it would pull on top end) Any advice on what I need to take one from a roll? (Hopefully it's nothing to expensive. Maybe I'm further off than I think...)

I was thinking about getting that WS6, but the paint has some scratches and the interior has a tear on the driver side. It also looks like the owner opened his door into someone. They were selling it for 13,9xx with 74,xxx miles on it. 6-speed t-tops. No wrecks on carfax or anything...

 

Do a cam that makes power higher up, with your other mods that would definitely give you more power than a stock ls1 (if it was stock).

 

What kind of cam would I be looking at? I was thinking about getting a hotcam, since it comes with 1.6rr and springs.

 

I heard good things about heads and intake porting.....

 

Wow, I'm surprised no one else has any ideas. I would think there is something small I am missing...

 

3.73s, higher stall converter, 150 shot....

 

The hot cam is great cam but i made the mistake of getting it in my car driving it around for about 500 miles and being bored and then finding out there are way better streetable cams. Just do your research before buying the Lt4 hot cam.

 

get a ls1.. lol.. that aint a bad price and for 75,000 miles it should run strong..

if not id go cam. maybe some head work..

 

The hotcam is kind of weak and old as well.

I like the XE cams, lots of people making good power with those. That's what I'm planning to go with.

 

The hot cam is a pretty close cousin to a stock cam. If you want a noticable gain..go with somethink larger than that. Also, you can do more to help your car "feel" faster, gears, shift kit (will make it feel faster with a punchier shift into a higher gear) I would, if it were my car, go with the rear end gears first. Then i'd tackle a head and cam package down the road. You can do wonders by simply porting the stock LT1 heads.

 

The hot cam is ok but it does seem to fall on its face up higher in the power band. Docspeed and I were talking about this the other night when we were in his 92 Vette.

 

I'd check in to either AI or Lyolld Elliot

 

Hmmm. I used to outrun stock or near stock 6 speed LS1s with my LT1 at the track. Maybe it's a mental thing.

 

you honestly think it would take 150 shot to take down a ls1?
