At that power level it's just better to get an upgraded clutch. I know my clutch will protest when I get in a race and I'm nowhere near his power level.

Did you mean a 13.0 @ 106? 12.0@106 is something an AWD import, with REALLLY short gears would do (we're talking crossing in 5th). Your trap speed is too low for the time set. Not calling you a liar, I think it's a type-"O", but you could prove me wrong! lol. I've always been under the impression that in a RWD car, you need 115+ to break into low 12 sec territory.

I used to have ridicuously fast 60ft times in my Subaru... 1.5-1.6 yet only managed low 13's @ 98-105 because of low HP, and short gearing. I ran out of RPM's at 136mph, 5th gear at 70mph was 4200 rpm.

I hit 14.0 @101at LACR (elevation, headwind, uphill track, and dust) on nothing but stock with 3,600 miles on it. That's approximately 13.6-13.5 at sea-level. Not too shabby with all season tires... lol. Best 60 foot was a 1.9.

Back to the thread though.... anyone know if Kenne Bell is still around? or if Paxton makes kits for our cars? I remember Bell Superchargers being the SH#T back when I had a supercharged GMC Jimmy. Haven't seen any of their products lately.

Found Bell.....

Now they offer a LS2 kit, not sure if it'll fit the GTO, Don't see why not, but the hood clearance will be an issue with their intercooler.



Dyno Pulls from an LS6 02 Z06 vette. Pretty similar to our application in regards to power made.

It won't fit because of the firewall. They won't make a kit for us. There's a million threads on it over on ls1gto.com.

Though obtained from the dark side... I'm still grateful for the info. Too bad, as I've always had great results with Bell in the past, but then again, that was some time ago. I just really liked their incorporated cooler. It's a really nice looking unit... .oh well.

sorry, you are totally right, I meant to say 13.0@109 for my stock GTO. I also had an awd car(96 talon) that car would run consistent 1.6x 60ft. times all day long. I believe my best time was 12.8@108. Again like you said great traction, just not alot of hp. That car was a lot of fun to make a lot of higher hp cars look silly on the street(stoplight races), it would run just as good on the street as it did on the track.

Whatever your choice be prepared to beef up the drive train all the way to the half shafts. I'm at the point of anymore and the tranny is going to have to get beefed up and higher stall convertor installed. It's just a matter of how much your willing to spend.

Someone is developing a Keene Belle supercharger for our cars as we speak. I'm holding out to see what the potential, price, ease of installation and factory look. If not I just going to have to go with an MP112. Ohh and Magnacharger is developing a TVS four lobe(CTS-V/LSA) type supercharger also.

Yep. I for one can't wait for the twin screw s/c.
