But, but DA

I know it is difficult for you to understand since your experience is limited to bolt on M6 LS1's. It is pretty simple really... All you need to address is traction. My 10 second LT1 that 60's in the 1.4 will dead hook from a 20 roll on the street. It is not difficult to get a stalled auto to hook. A bolt on stalled 5.0 will have no more problems from a dig than your M6 on the street.

My advice to your bro would be to ditch the Boss intake and DTP tune, get a real tune from RevAuto, Mid Atlantic Performance, VMP or the like, ring Circle D, and show you some tail lights. He could even put the stock mufflers back on, or keep the AB. It adds no power it is a sound preference.

I doubt your bros car could outrun mine.. he is somehow ******* up a automatic 5.0. I ran 8.39@85 bone stock in 1600 FT DA - to his what.. 8.8 @ 80 in 3800 DA? Even at that DA he should have at least trapped quicker. it doesnt add up.

Says hammer's 1/8 is faster but his 1/4 isn't. ........now boss mani's don't matter and only his mods are exceptable but still he is still in the mid 12s as where all other 5.bro's would run in the 8s by now.......lmao

acting like a auto car is harder to launch than a stick car to. .....reachin hardcore rittherr

watch out hammer the furd guys will be running to his rescue here shortly. ......makin up **** and lying as usual.

I am fully aware of DA's effect on track times. I race in anywhere from 0 DA to 3500+ DA in the summer. And no, 3000 difference is not .5 .. it's maybe .3 ..MAYBE.

You clearly are showing signs of the 5.0 that people bash about on here. I bet you fully believe in the 10 sec bolt on only 5.0 yet with your car you aint running that. Not only that i would also bet you believe in the 11 sec tire swap only 5.0 yet again you still dont run that (from your 8th mile time)

For the record - no crying has been done about anything on my part. I could care less how much my 5.0 weighs.. Just stating facts. Ls6 needs a weight advantage to beat a 5.0.

You haven't replied to my post towards the top of the page. Is Hammers car a drivers race or is the 5th gen a turd? I know it is tough to reply because you will contradict yourself anyway you slice it. You backed yourself into this corner..



I joined Tech in Aug last year... I guess?

My 5.0 doesn't have to run 10's with bolt ons to be capable. I would never build a all out bolt on 5.0 anyway... It will get turboed and run 9's at full weight with my Shaker blasting, and A/C cranking if I do anything with it.

I personally witnessed a tune, CAI, DOT slick 5.0 M6 go 11.8 @ 118 back to back to back. DA was near 0..

Translation: GM produced an inferior car. Sounds like a GM problem.

Thanks!
