new ws6
Just picked up my new to me 2000 ws6, been a member here for awhile but I've always been an Lt1 guy, the deal I made with the old lady is that the 6 satys stock till it's paid off, my biggest question is, me and the old lady went out and ran the new(ls1) ta against the old(lt1) ta and my lt1 spanked the 6's ***(3-4 cars), the lt1 has lt headers, no cats, flowmaster catback, 3.73's, k&n fipk and a mailorder tune, is something wrong with my 6?

Full exhaust, gears and intake on an LT1 should put it into LS1 territory. How much gas in each tank? Weight of each driver? Additional cargo? What transmission? Who drove each one, and how well can they drive? What kind of race was it?

All very important variables that could explain the outcome....

I think that ws6 should have pulled on that lt1 even with longtubes and a few mods. the ls1 one is a whole nother world of a motor when its stock. watch out for a built lt1 tho it will eat you alive there scaryyyyy

true, I went 13.4 @104 with crappy 273 gears and a small 218/230 114 lsa cam, shorty headers, I think the 373 gears would give him a big advantage

I'd say that's your problem.
You need some seat time so you can learn to drive that thing.
What kind of race was it? From a dig did the auto get the jump and keep it? If so I am not surprised at all...
