May need a little more to compensate for the weight difference and better traction on the vette, I don't believe the LS1 GTO delivers 340-350 to the tires. Maybe a 150 shot, a converter, sticky tire, full exhaust, heads and a cam.big_mike said:Hmmm, good question, allow me to answer it.
Z06 puts down @ 430-440 at the tires, and runs a 11.7-12.0 @ 120-122.
GTO puts down @ 340-350 at the tires, and runs a 13.2-13.4 @ 106-108.
a 150 shot would do it
a blower would do it
a converter, sticky tire, full exhaust and a cam would do it
a radical heads/cam package would do it
in other words, about another 150 horsepower would put you on the same playing field.
I dont know why, but I keep doing that to poor Blake. I dont mean to but dangit, I keep on forgettin!slonlo_350 said:Yeah Mike was thinkin' 2005.
the head and cam pkg is the way to go!!! it wont increass your compression ratio,{in fact you can lower it, buy getting a larger cc chamber} and get a converter that works with your new cam choice,if you increese the line pressure in the trans, it will help it from slipping, with your new found hp...and if that aint enough ?? you could spray it...hopfully the street tires will prevent you from breaking.. as they should break traction before someting breaks???? note: i said SHOULD.. there is no guarentee when you add that kind of exta hp, so dont be surprized if you smoke a u joint or a ring gear cause that stuff can happen.... :cheers04BlkGto said:Thanks guys, i was thinking, a head and cam package, converter, full exhaust, programmer, and intake. then a 75 shot. Is my engine/ transmission equipped to handle that kinda power??? Unless i bet the Z06 for 5,000 dollars and could buy a new engine/ trans. it might not be worth it.
Thanks

The first two might put you at power parity with a new Z06.big_mike said:a 150 shot would do it

Just don't run for pinks.... :thumbs:big_mike said:get heads/cam, converter, full exhaust, A TUNE, drag radials, and cross your fingers.
