so...i raced a ws6 trans am last night. we raced 4 different times. im waiting for him to post the videos on his facebook. hopefully he will post all four vids.

WS6 all stock, automatic
08 ss/tc- dejon CP, dejon SRI, stock tune

1st race 40mph roll- i was in 3rd gear (im a ******* i know) he put too many car length on me to count. started to chase him down but he ended up letting off he said

2nd race. dig- once again, he put too many car lengths on me to count. i missed third gear as well

3rd race 40mph roll- i was in 2nd gear this time. beat him by a few lengths. not really sure how many.

4th race 40mph roll- 2nd gear again and brake boosted. put maybe a car length on him then he got up to where i only had half a length on him. i missed 5th this time and we left off right after that. had half a length on him when i missed 5th.

this is the first time i've really raced my car that hard. was really suprised by the results. wasn't sure i really stood a chance against a ws6. i guess i need some more practice in my car shifting gears. i usually don't miss gears but of course i did when it matters. it was fun and the guy in the TA was really cool. i will post a link to the vids when he post them up. if he ever doesn. chinelli3589 was there. he can vouch for the races

 

Good runs dude!

 

thanks man. i had a blast. the last 2 races were damn good races. especially the very last one. it was really close. hince the reason i was ATTEMPTING to shift to 5th. neither of us wanted to let of because it was soo close.

 

They were damn good races. I'll take a crack at it next weekend Yea that last race was def intense. You could tell that neither one of you guys wanted to let off cause you both waited till the last min to shut it down I bet you wife was shittin herself. I know Haley was

btw you have to change your sig...you ain't stock no more

 

Go get tuned then see what happens. That will be sweet

 

waiting on some more funds to get a DP and then im getting it tuned. still on the fence about HP or trifecta though. leaning more towards trifecta. but i have a guy that said he would give me a damn good deal on a HP tune.

i will be calling him once i get my tune though. i will run him again for sure.

 

LT1 or LS1?

 

ws6's are ls1's

 

ls1...it was a ws6. i wish i would've asked him what year it was but i didn't. it was definately an ls1 though. opened the hood and it said SLP on the air box. im familiar with f-bodies but not really familiar with what the SLP means

 

Not all, there are lt1's too

 

how fast are the lt1 ws6 trans ams? i got pulled on by an ls1 and im stock. plus there were extra ppl in the trans am. i think he had exhaust tho. not sure.

 

slp is a jersey based company that makes some sick f-body parts and for firebirds G8's and now the new camaro builds limited perduction cars for gm that retain the gm warenty and make alot more power. the camaro they are building now is supose to keep with the lingenfelter one and still keeps the factory warenty

 

Maybe you won't get flamed like i did when i posted my ws6 vid

 

**** we better call all of the 96 and 97 Ws6 owners and tell them they arn't Ws6's. Not to mention the 2nd gen ones.

They were responsible for converting z28s to SS as well. Every SS 4th gen went to SLPs factory.

SLP doesnt have a very good name around Fbody owners. My SLP lid fits like ****, and their headers are known for having the worst ground clearance of all makes. Plus most of their parts are overpriced, a Skip Shift eliminator for $35 that is basically a resitor on a connector.

LT1s stock usually run around a 14 flat. My 93 auto Z28 with 3.23s had intake, tune, headers, exhaust, 2800 stall and tune with good tires ran a 12.8 with 156k miles.

 

well, we cant talk about ls1s without ford chiming in. i guess its just a matter of time

 

You're right, why would someone with LS1 building experiance comment in this thread....

 

so what exactly is the SLP lid for? is it for the ram air or something? i don't know much about the ws6 TA. as you can tell, i thought all of the ws6's were ls1's....shows what i know.

 

hey man, i was just commenting. i always see his name around when any gm v8 topic is around. just an observation.

 

Good runs, sounds like you ran a LT1 though. Pretty sure no Cobalt on stock tune is gonna hang with a LS1 even from a roll. Not bashing ya man, you still beat a V8 which is impressive.

 

Your point being?
Its not like I come in every v8 thread and say its impossible. In fact I really didn't have much to say for this thread until now lol. Just kinda curious what you meant.
Because I read all of the war stories while I sit at work I'm rather proud of my lil 4cyl brethren when they knock off a bigger car.

 

Don't worry OP I got your back!

No. All LS1s sucked air from the front. The factory air box lid is low and made for silence, not power. A lid is basically the first mod you do on an LS1, the aftermarket lid replaces the stock lid, looks a ton better, and gives you 10 to 15whp.

And BTW. An LS1 is an LS1 is an LS1. Aside from that you could option things like a shifter, exhaust and blackwing lid for SS and Ws6, an ls1 z28 runs the same as an SS as a Formula as a TA as a WS6 TA.



This is an SLP lid. It fits like ass.

 

ohh alright. well...at least i've learned something today. so when did they start putting the ls1 in instead of the lt1? im gonna text the guy and ask him what year it was. the owner said it was an ls1.

and im still waiting for them to post the videos of this so i can post a link.

chris ss/sc- thanks man

 

93-97 was lt1, 98-2002 was ls1

 

he hasn't texted me back yet. but it was for sure an ls1 then. it was the 98-02 body style.
