Ya i can see that. An auto coyote is geared stupid low in 1st so theres that. I run 3.90s so my first gear is about the same as most m6 coyotes would be. I think 40-50tq at the wheels with both cars being equally geard would be a decent advantage if it hooks from a dig. Bakery race it wont matter since both cars are in their best rpm bands.
If you were closer i'd like to test that out, my car is 3280-3300 in daily trim. Close to a full bolt on ls3... Race trim I lose another 50 with losing the sub, amp and spare.

Yeah I weighed my car this past weekend and it's full weight minus the tubular front end. A/c, PS, Stock front and rear seats etc. It weighed 3190 without me in it so it definitely has a weight advantage over the newer cars! Once I get the drag wheels on and rear seat delete / racing seats I'm shooting for 2950-3000lbs without me and not stripping it.

The difference in hp/L isn't even that much anyway. 475 hp (crank) was done on an SBE 4.8 with ported early style truck heads, shelf cam and intake. 500+ would be easily achieveable nowadays. Just most people don't bother with them because LS aren't cube limited.
There is no factory high performance 4.8-5.0 LS to compare anyway.

Yeah lol it definitely helps! It's going to need a cage soon so I need to get it as light as possible while I can
Yeah I would like to not give it up as well, but we will see... .Giving PS wouldn't bother me too much but AC kinda would lol

Your car must get moving with that power to weight ratio. Nice job on the car!

Thanks man! I'm having fun with it that's for sure.... But yeah I was trying to decide on what K kit I wanted to go with as well, and I finally narrowed it down to UPR chromoly and Team Z metal Matrix.... I went with the Team Z since they are proven, and it's strong steel and weighs only 4lbs more than the chromoly kit

I highly recommend an tubular k member to anyone. I got mine for free but after seeing how much easier it is to work on the car with it in I'd pay full price for it any day lol
