Have you seen the vid of me goin 11.1 @ 126.x? Do you believe that?

We will find out what it will do on a fab 9 soon enough.

I really have not had much for rearend problems until this axle breaking issue. I did break 2 sets of 4.10's but that is one reason why I tell people 4.10's suck for these cars. The 3.90's have been solid...not even a whimper out of them. Will they take a 6k 2step dump on a slick....probably not.

What do you think a 9" is gonna take 10mph out of traps??? Thinking like that would get you ran out of tech forums.

Do you think the stock tq arm drives my mph up too?

I'll tell ya the difference between you and I. I can get this ls6 to trap 130+.....you had to buy a ZR1 to do it

With that said I would rather have the ZR1....lol

As far as the ls6 swap with a cam car goes. Clearly that car is under performing. W/o knowing all details it's hard to say. But I would rather have a stock cam with a spot on tune than a cam and the tune be off any day. I'm sure anyone on a "tech" forum would agree. And I think there are alot of cam cars out there with the tunes off and even more with there combo's lacking.

My car is a street car .....dd actually. I would rather have a high trapping street car vs a awesome 60' drag car. Now at some point I will find a happy medium between them. When I do you will call more bs.
I reduced the weight of it to help ALL aspects of performance w/o compromising it's dd ability. That also helps the 10bolt live. You for instance already said a 9" would be the first thing you have done. Your in the same boat as lots of others....thinking right inside that box.

Didn't you say the car weighs 3000-3100 dry? What's the Raceweight?

But on a diff not, its not inside the box getting a rear on an fbody. Sure some make it just fine with 400hp but the inevitable WILL happen. Id rather not spen the $500 from my 1.5hour drive to track to get it to a local shop. Its a chance many of of us wont take.

Its playing with fire to throw cams at them and keep the stock rear....sure, it will hold up. Mine held cam launches for 2 seasons....theeeeeeeeen she gave out on the freakin way home driving from work. Very random

Its not like all the bolt on f-bodys that are 118+ have a different platform then the ones that don't trap 118+.

Do all f-bodys trap that? No. Can they? Yes. Now it depends on the owner if he's willing to go that route or not.

Your doin a real good job when both sides call bs

Read adam's post.

I'll add this. If one person gets to 120(just use it as a good round #) and another don't. If their object is to make speed threw modding...then yes the second person did something wrong. Although everyones results will very.

Slow that 60' down to a 2.6 and pick up trap by 3mph then I will be impressed...lol

As far as I can tell with a proper set-up and gear (not 4.10's) a 10 bolt holds up fine. Yes you have to be nice to it and have a little finesse......but not bad in my power range. Now you do not want to let it wheel hop, that is instant death.

Atleast someone on here has a little common sense


Not like the first time you've trolled....

ofcourse it matters.

An M6 creates WAY more drivetrain shock over an auto, an auto's alot softer on the drivetrain.


Im talking about the 10 bolt, since you said people have gone 10s with it.

I've owned my car since I was 16 years old back in 2003. I've been around the LS1 world since then and I've seen hundreds if not thousands of Ls1 fbodies run at the track not to mention the ones I've assisted building or have worked on myself. I know whats norm and what's not norm for these cars.

I know for a fact I am one of the better 6 speed drivers around.

I owned a 2005 GTO that I took to 12.79 @ 109 basically bone stock. I drove my Camaro to a 13.1 @ 107 in mid summer hot georgia air stock down to the filter.

My camaro runs fine for what it is. 131 Traps @ near full weight are simply impossible with 420rwhp in a Fbody. You guys are letting this man troll you for days and you keep biting. Somehow or another we are arguing about rear end strength now? Come on.
