Not me thats for sure. If I had a LS3 mn6 car I would love for him to spend a day taking it down the track. Porbably would have me first on the bone stock list...
Now even for me its hard to f up the auto L99 times, 2 mods and a tune low 12`s. I drove my prev 06 Vette MN6 LS2 after half a day of racing to a 11.98, then a buddy who has been driving stick at the track for several years took it down and first time ran an 11.96, and I thought I was a good driver...
I figure Bob could have put that car in the 11.7`s just on the driver mod.
Matter of fact I remember how frustrating it was running his car as at the track...Lol.. I was used to beating cars outfitted like his 99 Cobra w/ my Trans Am, but I couldn`t beat him in his.. Bob, glad your not in VA anymore for that reason...
To fix my heavy situation I`m throwing substantial power at it, magnaflow full dual 3 inch exhaust out the back will go on friday to replace the stock cans and bolt up to the AR Headers, and I`ve bought and paid for my Whipple, if they will just ship the thing already!!! Then weight and the tiny cam in the L99 is not going to be so much of an issue after that...
Side note have any of you ford guys seen what safe boost is going to be on a stock internal 5.0 w/ out meth? I`m thinking w/ the high compression and still pretty small rods it may not be able to run much. I know more goes into figuring the max safe boost but compression is usually the biggie. I could be wrong though, I thought the 5.0 was going to be maxed out from the factory and on paper that looked to be the case. Not true in real life though.
There is a guy local who has a 5.0, Sean Kelley, he had a stang shop not sure if he does now, he`s also still on TWR, but he`s had some real fast cars, he`s going to put his 5.0 on a diet, and I`m sure many more mods to come, I`m sure he will boost before long as well. I`m interested to see how the car shapes up.
Oh and I just have 1 more thing to say:
