Default YOU call it

Couple days ago I posted a kill with a very similar TA. Come to find out the driver WAS in my class. He said his car was a stock 2002 M6, 18G miles, so probably still had the original F1's. I'm running new BFG KDWS's plus you can see the rest. I'm not too shabby with a stick, either. I can't get over the fact that our race was so close. I have yet to dyno my car. What do you guys think I should be putting to the ground?? This guy gives me his # to run on the weekend. I'm gonna run him, no doubt. But what's bugging me is he said he's stock! I say ! Give me your thoughts, guys. Thanks.

BTW- Sorry so long :p

You dont have any serious mods done yet, so im gonna guess around 330 rwhp. When you dyno, i would do a pull with you stock MAF also, quite a few LS1's dyno lower with aftermarket MAF's.

I'd guess in the 330-350 range... Just my guess- my car is pretty similarly modded and I have embarrassed some near stock vettes in mine. Maybe he just got a strong one.

You don't really have any power mods. Why are you so surprised?

He doesn't have the cam installed yet. Your car is probably in the 310-320 rwhp range ... and assuming he is telling the truth and it is stock, that will make it a really close race. Most likely, it will come down to who is the better driver.

Throw some nitrous on there, and you can granny shift your way to victory.

heh
