With a set of 4.56's you'll go 10s!

 

No, the OP's race against the SRT8,you know,the reason the thread was started in the first place.

 

Sarcasm at it's best.

 

I wonder what 4.10's would do to the gas mileage of the new SS.......

 

Still never seen a fast stock block boosted 350z. Had a TT 350z talking smack and he got put down N/A and it wasnt even close. Stillen s/c 350z's make me laugh there are two i know of and the gains are pathetic.

Boost will make power with compression, but its not ideal or recommended due to detonation.

Id make more power reliably on a 150 shot or more considering the beefed up internals on that 5.0 than i would with low boost.

 

all depends on the motor though too
I really only know the ecotec asd the LSX to provide substantial examples, but for the LSx motors, if you're going boosted 10.0-11.0 CR is recommended, and for NA, 11:1-12:1 is the way to go.

 

and the ecotec?

 

ecotecs looove high compression too, however you need a real stable tune to keep from knocking. Look at ZZPs M62 car, what was it, 11:1? M88's 400whp TVS car (before it went boom), somewhere between 10.5-11.5:1 (i cant recall exactly). Then theres the couple threads a long while back of LSJs running 8.5-8.9:1 CR with turbo setups making 400whp but only 280wtq.

Most other cars i only know what they do in stock form, so i cant comment on most other engine's reactions to increasing/decreasing CR

but im sure you already knew all this

 

you could have just said that. lol. I remember those low compression LSJ's that made 400whp and under 300wtq. It was crazy to see those reports. lol.

I'm debating on raising mine. Right now I'm just gonna stick with stock 9.5:1 as it's safe and still is making plenty of power. I think once I got my head work completely finished and see where that puts me, maybe then I'll mess around with displacement and compression.

 

11.0:1 is the way to go on boosted LSx motors? You better check your facts. You can run boost on high CR engines, sure. But you will be limited severely in what power levels you can run safely.

No way was my 383 LT1(lunati sledgehammer crank, wiseco piston, hellfire rings, pro mod rods) with a 11.0 CR was ever going to be able to run to 800hp like the low CR build did.

It would go boom LOOOOOOONG before that level.

 

im too lazy to read all this again, did this race happen yet?? If not, im down with my 5.7L, just name the place.

 

I guess the camaro is only offered with one diff ratio and changing it is a biotch.
And to whoever said mustangs are for cheap vette owners, sorry but thats where the morons who bought the GTO check in. more than half of the owners dont even know who Holden is....

And for the record the terminator cobra / GT500 still rules the ponycar roost.

 

Says the guy 1500 miles away.

 

wow. looks like vq say's alot of crap he knows nothing about. now as far as the gto's go. well they have better quality interior than a mustang, especially the cobra. but mod for mod i would still rather have a gto or a camaro with a ls1 in it than what you drive any day. but since you no so much about the gto nutswingers and there cars. how many 03's did they make, i mean since you no so much!!!

 

o hai! 2nd gen SBCs are not LSxs. 11:1CR would be on low boost (IE below 10psi) LSx motors for the record...but even then, thats still 700whp more often than not.

agreed. Hes talkin quite a bit out of his ass...mostly the "most GTO owners havent even heard of holden" comment.

Most people on this forum know it...how do you figure the actual owners wouldnt? **** its stamped with "made in australia" all over the car

 

Funny how there is quite a few different companies making ring and pinion sets for the new camaros already. I doubt changing it is a bitch. Probably not much different than any other camaro or GM car.

And you thinking that the termi's and gt500's rule the pony car war is your opinion. Personally, I think LSx powered cars are the rulers right now. This new 5.0ltr 2011 stang has to prove itself before it can be worthy. The termi's/gt500's are something special, but not quite the potential of LSx powered cars.

 

i do believe the only car i would have rather than my gto is a cobalt ss/tc. or a sc for that matters. well of course the vette. and i'll have one of them to. and you are right hunterkiller89, if a owner of a gto did not know it came from down under, they need to go back to school. and the power of a lsx engine is wonderful. if you take a ls1 and put on a supercharger, all stock, it will put out more rwhp and tq than a cobra will all stock.

 

"GTO" - australian for GAY

 

looks like you no alot about the gay crap... you definately drive one with the engine you are useing for your id.... it's not anuone fault that your daddy butt rubbed you as a baby. that don't make everyone of us a ******. i guess it is your way of feeling dominant on here. well go ahead, because it does not matter. i still have a better car than you. even if it had 200.000 miles on it, it would still be worth more than yours would.

 

the word is KNOW godammit KNOW

know!!!

 

well the maturity level in this thread just dropped a bit..

 

Sorry, just thought I would push some 2nd grade level education tips on you guys.

Theres other grammar mistakes too, but I am not going to go full grammar ****. (Ahem possessive form of "Their")

 

im not referring to your post....just the two directly above it

 

Well this is a forum where the target age group is 16-22..... You can see a nice representation of that demographic in war stories...

You know here in Afghanistan Goats are a prized possesion. You can trade 2-3 sheep for them, and sometimes a first born child. I am not sure about one with 200K miles though. Maybe 1 sheep for that one.

 

Oh really I didnt "no" (actually spelled know) that they used a 2002 nissan motor in my 2009 Cobalt SS. Maybe someone on your other forum there did a VQ swap on their Bonneville, i mean GTO
I apologize, its just too easy to push GTO owners buttons, because EVERYTHING is inferior to what they drive. It would be hard to pick out another enthusiast group as pompous.... Maybe the M3 crowd... But thats acceptable because theres been many generations of M3's. The GTO was pretty much a monumental flop on GMs part.

Is the GTO a nice car? Yeah its got a nice motor, and well thats about it.... i mean blue leather? you serious? Is it better CAR(NOT JUST ENGINE) than a 3v GT? Debatable. Will a 2011 GT slap the **** out of a GTO on circuit? does a bear **** in the woods? Its in a entire different league.

Oh and yes id rather have an e-class framed SRT-8 than the GTO because......... Its a better CAR!
