Im honestly pretty tore up about it.. I mean he stripped the thing to bare metal and is running mid 13s... he drops 2 or 3 thousand more lbs and it's going to run 6s.

So my car went on the dyno Friday. With the new turbo the car maxed out the 95lb injectors on e85. Still made 735whp and 920wtq with the converter unlocked on straightlines mustang dyno. We could only push about 15psi and 16 degrees. Need more injector and possibly another pump.
Congrats!
I'm gonna pretty much find the best bang for my buck.
If I dont find something soon, the C5 will go under the knife. I have a cam already, and I have enough $ to buy a turbo kit or an S/C. I could make a pretty fast C5Z06 with what all I got. It just needs a clutch and some other stuff so I'm tempted to just get another car. C5Z is paid for though, so its hard to justify adding a payment.
I don't live paycheck to paycheck and could afford a payment but it's nice not having one.

On another note, good lord I have a lot of SR&K and TK2k videos to catch up on from this year! Busy weekend!

Yeah it should make some good power for sure. Let us know how it does. What sort of fuel setup is he running. I have to look through my options for a fuel system. I have twin walbro's right now and they are holding great pressure, but I may run out of pump once i up the injectors.

So much for all this coyote bullshit we're always hearing about. Looks like and I have said before Ford has just caught up. ls6 built in 02, coyote in 2011. Ls6 has been highly underestimated for years.
With that said. For some reason chevy guys are all to quick to want to change internals. This is why we are just seeing these kind of #'s out of the ls6. But there are far and few vette guys willing to put forth that kind of effort......it's much cooler for them to talk about their h/c or nos/blower or big inch motor that's probably slower than to make their bolt-on car get it on.

There is far less vette's and then the % of vette guys willing to do this with their car is far less also. Even camaro guys are all to quick to go full bolt-ons and sort their car out. Mainly because it's cheaper to throw a cam in it or a set of heads and call it a day to reach the same goal as far as et/trap is concerned. It's just far more impressive when a bolt-on car is right.

Not at all. All aspects of of the comparison is valid. You can't compare 2 cars from different era's if one stays stuck in the previous era. How are those results accurate? It's 2013, both have realized benefits of newer technologies.

While i understand what youre saying, vettes have always been magic at the strip. My buddies bone bone stock suspension drivetrain C4 vette with a 400whp 383 h/c lt1 went 11.0 at 127 down at cecil and 11.4 at 123 up here at NED. Its incredible how a very dated stock platform is capable of such composure driving down the track. They have only gotten better through the years.

i dont understand how you dont see my point. If in 2022... the 2011 coyote has not gone any faster then they do now.....then we can say the bolt on ls6 is a better platform.

I made my decision with the Gto, were gunna see if we can make another one explode..
Gunna take an lq4 and turn it into an ls7 headed 441ci forged monster. As long as these walls sonic test out ok we are doing it.
4.125 stroke X 4.125 bore
Ill make s build thread so people can tell me I can bore it that much.

The vette is not magic at the strip....far from it. But it is better than most as a base starting point. IRS has never been a great advantage at the strip. Again the vette's are magic way of thinking would mean vette boy and company could not improve upon their set-up.....which seems to be drastically wrong.
It's a great time for both ford and chevy engines that are this capable. It's just ford was way late to the party. Now with the advent of the lt1 they will be behind again.
Well the reality is they may have never caught up after thinking for a second. I'm sure if they put a ls3 in that vette it would go faster
