Minimal mods?

It was an '01 (LS6 manifold) and prob dynoed around 305-310 rwhp stock I would guess....

It then got a lid, FTRA, ported TB, 85mm MAF, pulley, exhaust and the dyno was run thru and open cutout....the car was also dyno tuned with more timing, etc.....I wouild say that short of hearders it had every single bolt on possible...I'd say picking up about 30rwhp with all those mods (cutout gave me 9rwhp by itself)...is prob not all that great....

Have you guys....ever...been around LS1 cars at all?

I was dozing off at my desk and I had a bad dream about a Vette and an Escalade that got keyed when the owners weren't looking.

Yeah a few. Some of which had more mods, higher stall, and were running a half second slower at the same track on the same day.

LOL

I am just jealous that you were able to go just as quick as me with close to $15.00 invested.

That car was sick fast but the new TA looks better!

It was a very sneaky nitrous setup spraying for a fast 1/8 and off for a low mph. Why else would his car start rod knocking like crazy on the dyno that one day. Detonation that tickled the rod bearings on an aborted nitrous pass I tell you!!!!!!

Yes I've solved the SSOM Mystery!
