Bolt on Coyotes vs LS6 CTS-V vs full bolt on Trans Am Had a few races tonight. My car is an 04 not an 06, ls6 not an ls2. "Custom tune" bs description is my tuner just used a file from his old v, we didn't go datalogging or have a wideband.
I expected to lose to the coyote since he was making ~30-40 more whp and weighs a good 300 lbs less. The 2nd race against the T/A he jumped and held the lead. He has full exhaust, lid, 4.10s, tune.

yeah on my Camaro I had a programmer, cutout and 3.73s and fendered him out to 120, he had a bama then. I got a real tune on it and some other minor bolt ons, he just changed tune, and he walked away from the Camaro.

Some guys have changed to the V2 i think 5 lug wheels. Visit the V section of this forum. Lots of good info on these cars. And if my V was pulling light bolt on 5.0s with just headers and tune. A cam one should have no problems yanking one lol. Just gotta pick the best roll speed for the V helps big time.

You and others fail to realize you are 35~lb heavier on the clutch than they are. Why the **** are you worried about your wheel weight when the clutch weight has WAY more effect on the car?
You go a cam you may as well do gears too. Prepare to spin it to 7000+ then too or your wasting your $$

A good clutch and a fast rxt would be plenty.

I would think so. Headers, cat delete, cam, intake, tune.
The 5 lug conversion is probably the best move, but its nowhere near cheap. You're looking at new rims, new tires, new hubs, drilling holes in your rotors, and a bunch of other ****, for the ability to run other rims. Its totally worth it if its within budget. LOL

He didn't say full bolt-ons. He said bolt-ons. He would need full bolt-ons too then. The car is heavier than a fcar and turns 1000 more rpm....maybe a little more if he listens. That makes 4.10's a viable option for him in that car.

all depends on the one you race, i had high compression cnc heads, mantic clutch, full exhaust, cam and ported fast 92 intake on my 05 v and put down 455/402 on Vengeance racing's dyno and would not pull away from my buddies 5.0 that had a boss intake, cai, deleted cats with x pipe, 3.73 gears and a bama tune... we raced multiple times and were dead even from 40-130+, his car traps 118
