fordsareslow Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Not sure of your time but I'll guess around a 13.60 @97.5 mph. I would highly suggest getting some cal-trac traction bars and a set of ET streets if you want it to hook up. Before those, I would have to fight it off the line it would spin the tires so bad. Now I can just floor it off the line and it hooks up good. I picked up almost .4 by just using those two things. I think I can get a .1 or so more if I play with the air pressure some more. Good luck to you and make sure to post up your results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody6.0 Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 what do i need to get into the 12's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 what do 20's have to do with dyno number concerning your rwhp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody6.0 Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 not sure, prodyno told me they drop hp, dont ask me im not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordsareslow Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 what do i need to get into the 12's?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would highly recomend getting 4.10's. I had 3.73's and was running consistant high 13.20's. The first pass with 4.10's and with the same track conditions, I ran a 12.94 and picked up almost 4 mph. I only ran it once as I broke a u-joint through the lights. I think I'll pick up even more now that it's fixed. I've heard of guys picking up .5 with just the gear swap. Also, what kind of headers are you running? If you can run long tubes that will help out a bunch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody6.0 Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 stock exhaust manifolds, prodyno also told me to get header. 4.10, how much does that cost usually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 not sure, prodyno told me they drop hp, dont ask me im not sure. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i think they do lose a little horsepower. but, isnt a chassis dyno measuring horsepower to the rear wheels? or is it measuring it to the pavement?

H8R Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I would think an inertia base dyno would compensate for the added weight of 20's so if the operator used the total weight of the vehicle it should be accurate.. but I dont know the effects of the rotating mass. on that style of dyno.

Holty Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 that setup is similar to what quik is running. he is turning mid 12's with his truck. but he has a 3800 stall converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordsareslow Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 In addition to the converter, I believe Quick also has mid lengths, 4.10's, and ET streets when he runs those numbers on all motor. I could be wrong though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I'm confused on your LS6 rotating assembly. Obviously the LS6 pistons won't work and you have an Eagle crankshaft. What parts of the rotating assembly are from the LS6? Also, your dyno numbers were between 370 and 400rwhp, didn't they give you an actuall number??? Going by your list though, I'd guess a 13.4.
