200 shot stock Will a stock Ls6 motor take a 200 shot? Of course, I plan on reducing the timing and upping the fuel, cold plugs, br8ef or br7ef. I have the fuel for it. Currently on an E45 mix. Looking to get into the 6s in the 1/8th.
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!
The max I would safely reccommend, on a stock ls1 shortblock is in the 500 to 525 rwhp range. This, can be achieved by spraying a stock motor, cam only motor, heads and cam motor, anyway you get there, this would be a safe power level. ONce you start getting above this power level, the reliability is going to start falling, more you add, more it falls. This power level, is going to require a GOOD tune, and CHECKING PLUGS ON A VERY REGULAR BASIS. Adding race fuel into the equation will certainly make it safer, as it will help aoid the detonation that is the #1 stock piston killer.

Its been done. I'm at 250 right now for the third year. One guy was spraying 400 on an SBE LS6. Exotic fuel and single digit timing according to him.
The whole setup matters. A plate setup wont work quite the way a direct port setup will in terms of having a safe tuneup. I'd get with your kit manufacturer and they can likely get you close.

I'm at 15* peak torque and 18.5 all in,150 shot on a SBE 6.0. Every motor is different. Just start conservative on the timing and she'll live a happy life.

I'm a tad more that that at peak torque. Running E45 helps with that.
That site is full of morons and whiners. So sick of the repeated trap door, what size tire, etc. I'm gonna unfollow because it clutters my FB page with ignorance and annoyance.
