So, you're scared to go WOT because of your tires and potholes, but not scared to go 120mph?

theres a difference between getting upto 120 and full forcing it.
less chance of slip/spinning. plus i knew the road and slowed down because of it + traffic

Well to me i guess it feels like having sex and not finishing--the pedal is half-way there why not just push it down a little farther

i'm pretty sure you're not spinning at 60+, and if attracting attention is what your worried about, i'm sure 7/8 throttle for 9-10 seconds will attract just as much attention as WOT for 7-8 seconds.

And there's not THAT much difference in WOT and 88% throttle, unless you've got your N2O system armed and on a WOT switch.


Regardless, nice kill

I would figure 7/8's throttle and WOT wouldn't be very different...

and to all the people saying they go WOT, you guys got some nads
I was just kidding, man. I love C6s. I'd take one any day of the week, especially a Jetstream Blue Metallic LS3.

Offer me a Jetstream Blue Metallic C6 Z06 and I'll gladly give you a kidney plus cash.

(I wasn't kidding about wasting the only ones I've run, though )

A PM to me???

What's your reasoning for the big duration split and high LSA on the cam? That setup is mint. I bet that car hauls ***. How big of a shot are you running when you get the kit?

No, not a pm to you, to a tuner.

When I bought the cam, Vengeance and Pat G. helped me find a grind for the A6 and the N20. It's perfect. The 1 7/8's will really benefit from a 150+ shot. I am planning on a 100-150 shot only due to the stock trans. A converter and rockers will be next then the N20. Right now the tune is off but still at 50mph in "D" it will downshift and light em up. KDW's suck though.

Haha, I was like, "Wow, my memory is bad but I didn't think it was THAT bad".

Anyways, that setup kicks ***. Any dyno numbers yet or are you waiting for the retune? I would imagine near the 500rwhp mark, but that cam is throwing me off. Fairly mild cam for the displacement. Streetability or future plans?

when i say 7/8s im just estimating lol. i'm guessing the numbers from where my foot was and how loud it was. i mean, theres a notable difference between WOT and what i was doing.
