LT and never look back. v6 or v8

Did you feel a big gain in power?

J_Vibe92 · 05-31-2013, 02:45 AM

yepp. defintely noticeable when you do 60-etc pulls

J_Vibe92 · 05-31-2013, 02:46 AM

also i have gotten wheel spin easier now :p even though i dont want it haha

lscamaro · 05-31-2013, 02:47 AM

Cool! I think I'll be installing mine pretty soon. Just scared for what it'll do to my exhaust note lol. I love it right now. But I do want those extra ponies

J_Vibe92 · 05-31-2013, 02:49 AM

Also if i may add... according to my ELM 327 and its 1/4 mile times... i am apparently running a 13.6. My best time previously was a 14.1 without headers and that was also on elm 327 and torque. i didnt post anything because it wasnt "offical" but i am going dragging this weekend and will hope for a great temp and good track and hopefully a great time slip

btw i dont know how accurate the torque app is with elm. i put my car weight to be pretty close to actual at about 3750 with me inside. considering i have done about 100 plus in weight savings but deleting some stuff and getting rid of those steelies helped too!

J_Vibe92 · 05-31-2013, 02:50 AM

your exhaust note will be great. trust me. people tend to complain so much about drone and blah blah blah... wait it out and after some driving its almost readjusts itself. at least mine did. It sounds amazing

Cool, be sure to post some slips after you go! BTW, why did you choose to go with no cats? I can't make up my mind if I want cats or not.

Getting rid of the steelies is definitely huge, they are like anchors. Still don't know what GM was thinking by going with that wheel.

J_Vibe92 · 05-31-2013, 03:07 AM

Honestly, here is my opinion on cats

first off... there is no ROTTEN EGG smell. it smells like exhaust... nothing different. kind of rich then some but smells pretty good to me

second off, everyone who has high performance vettes, camaros, challengers, etc... seem to all go catless and are fine with it. Provides a sexier noise as well and usually saves money from getting hf cats which really do nothing.

lastly, for inspection... there are many places that are mod friendly. so yeah

and also if all these cars are going no cats, how are they passing inspection? ... so ill leave the desicion to you but it sure is the definition of bang for buck.

Yea, buddy had a fully straight piped 2006 gt so I know what they smell like. I honestly don't mind it at all.

I guess the only reason I'm trying to decide if cats or no is because I don't want to be harassed when it comes to inspection or just in general.

J_Vibe92 · 05-31-2013, 03:41 AM

naw, you should be fine. if not i know places here in the houston area that will do it for like 15 over normal price

Hey guys, I found this 0-60 calculation on the Corvette forums and this seems to be one of the more accurate ones out there. It is based off of your 60' 330' and 660'

Looks like I have a 4.46 0-60 so I'm happy about that

I just ordered some BBK Headers for my V6 so excited

SixCyl · 05-31-2013, 09:36 PM

Got my wheels! The car feels GREAT. It was literally weighed down with the old wheels. She feels so nimble and light it's unreal. I think I lost 50 pounds of rotational mass. Can't wait to head out to the strip. 13's here I come!

Here are some pictures. It won't let me do more than 2 for some reason. I LOVE these wheels.
