stick with stock heads/cam or go ls6?
 

should i keep chasin ET with stock heads/cam or go to an ls6 topend? technically would still be "stock" just vette parts, but obviously people will say its not.

what do you guys think would be more interesting, a stock production f-body motored car or one utilizing the best stock production parts from the cars model year era?

If you are gonna do the ls6 topend just get a good heads cam don't bother with stock ls6 or cam and port the ls6 heads. if it isn't totally stock it's a pointless game. to me anyways

yeah unless its totally!!! Stock then mine as well just go big or go home right?

Wouldnt it just be a stock ls6 at that point?

yeah zfreie

I say LS6 just to avoid pain in the ass aftermarket shit.

I'm a fan of swapping around stock GM parts.

Its still a stock engine in my eyes then, and if people try and tell you its not stock then they have to tell every stock z06 vette owner their cars arnt stock lol

it wouldnt be stock for a f-bod though...

The car wouldnt be stock, but the engine would be.

How many peole drive factory stock f-bodys. Not many, I dunno what youve changed but I know you atleast changed the gears lol

i'd go ls6 top end and custom cam. think thats the direction I'll go.

why does everyone get custom cams lol. must be so expensive

whats an ls6 motor make with full bolt ons thru a t56? 400rwhp? thats enough for me i think

I think that number would be pushing it, I'd say around 360

hum, coulda sworn stock c5 z06s made 340-350rwhp?

Rated either 385 or 405 fwhp depending on year. Figure maybe another 30-40 hp with full bolt ons and 20% drivetrain loss through an M6

Hp means nothing. Its how it performes. And it would in the ball park of 375rwhp. If it matters.

In your dreams.

Do what you want. For records they are already set pretty damn low for bolt-on ,ls6 bolt-on. I think the lsi is mid 11's and ls6 is mid 10's. These are gutted cars but still bolt on.

Your still slow. My bolt-on C5 vette with cold air and tune went 12.2 at 110mph with 3k miles,stock 3.42 gears and stock goodyear runflats.:la:

thank you, i feel liberated now.

so your lighter car with more mods barely went quicker than mine?

idk I feel like if its running 12.4 on a shitty LS1 now a stock LS6 swap would roflpwn a 12.2. I didn't do much research on it but that's just my assumption.

Yes, my car with shittier gears, stock tires, and on a 85 degee day went 2/10ths quicker on it's first day out..

I'm confused lol Was it only a cia and tune? or a full bolt on in good air?

I don't overly care, I just noticed the discrepancy. :gayfight:

Um, cold air/tune went 12.2. Had stock 3.42 gears and stock tires. I said bolt -n, not full bolt-on. Understand? Probly would of gone 11's with headers but it got a blower at the same time.

I'm just having fun with SLP. I've noticed he's been an unhappy poster lately.

No no, pick on SLP all you want lol I like knowing what ran what, when and how. :zfreie:

i love you don! got any ideas for cam only setup?

I've got plenty of idea's. Just depends on drivability you want.

Don got any parts for an LQ9 swap?
