A little bench racing.

Get a couple of old scrap motors and take em to a proper Destruction Derby! I raced "full contact" bangers over here for a few years and I sure drive slower on the roads 'cos I've had my thrills and spills on the track

Your getting that much HP from a stock long block 6.0?

6.0L's made 300hp from the factory in 3/4T trucks, with a cam change, they get 345 out of them (Silverado SS, Escalade).  With better intake and a cam, you can easily get close to 500hp out of them.

 What your times? post a copy of it. 60ft. ect...
 And what are your cam specs on this "mild cam"?? You have a cam card post it too.
 Who's your tunner? What does he tune with?

[Captkaos]

Just an FYI, that he is running a Carb on this Joe...

[joesgarage71]

 Then he has Pro Data+ he tuned it with...

Well, I can see you're not easily convinced, but that's cool.  I ran a 12.8@107, my 60ft was 2.1 or 2.2(so you can tell my launch sucked).  I don't remember where the time slips are, but I'll post my next one when I go to the track.  I really don't feel like posting the complete specs on my cam, but I may have posted them in a while back in a different thread.  Believe me, my cam is mild.  I only had trouble with it the first couple days after it was installed...it would stall here and there.  My new cam is going to be: 242/248 - .608/.612 - 110 lsa and I'm sure that is considered slightly wild in the LS world.  As of now, my tuner is me...I can set my timing/jetting as close to the edge as I want to.  If you don't believe the numbers, go on to LS1tech and look around.  You'll see....stock LS6 and LS2 is 400HP, add a cam and good intake + some headers with a tune and see what you get.

Sounds like a great race! If you got a nitrous kit hook it up. Get it to come in at a higher rpm and fatten up the fuel, your motor will be fine. You'll clean his clock!!!!!!!

Look brother, winning a street race don't mean a thing! If you both get to the other end with your trucks intact then that's the best you can hope for. It don't sound like you got to many people gonna judge him leaving the line early or the close finish on the big end in your favor.

What, is this pissant little prick like 12 or something? Got a pack of Friends that gotta be at the buss stop in the morning to make it to jr high on time? I wouldn't argue the point, be the man it sounds like you are. When there all warm and cozy in there mom and dads basement watching The Fast and Furious movie they've got about wore out, bust in and tell them when you're gonna be at the track you want to run at and if they show, race em n see what happens, if they don't show ( I'm betting they won't!) no big loss! You have fun running, then rub the time slips in there zit covered faces!!!!

Speaking of bets,,,,, Make em put up some green backs. That's when you see who's got balls and who still carries there favorite blanky with em. Then you can play the part of the hustler you gave em what they wanted then made em pay for it! How sweet would that be?

They said it pushed a 70's camaro to a 12.1 on motor and 10.8 with a 175 shot.  And that camaro weighed 4000+ and he said his truck weighs 3600 according to his title. 

How did he calculate a 70 Camaro weighing 4000+ pounds, Stock with all the fixings it was 3313lbs, a stipped SWB pickup (no power anything) will tip the scales at around 3850, that is 500lbs MORE than the Camaro.  Generally this is worth about .5 seconds in the quarter mile.  Not including the fact that it takes some thought to hook a truck to the ground. 

How does he know it went 12.1 if he doesn't go to the track?

[joesgarage71]

 I am wanting to install a cam in my 04 and I want some numbers to compair to others I was reading about. Jesse Bubb tuned my PCM and I want MORE POWER!! 100 HP sounds good. I guess I should be reading more at performancetrucks.net
 Yea Its hard to believe that you got 160 HP from a mild cam, intake, exhaust and carb.

[85MudMonster]

I'm kinda lost I think. what's the deal this guy called you out and doesn't want to go to the track to run against you? Well, it's his loss then. But definately don't race on the street. And why are we talking about a 6.0L, did I miss something somewhere?

I can sell you an STS kit, that will wake it up. 

I am talking about swapping the cam, carb headers and intake, not just the cam.  Here is an article recently with dyno results of such a change to a used engine.  It made 480hp and 450 TQ.  http://www.carcraft.com/projectbuild/116_0704_lq4_short_block/index.html

I don't know where he got the weights from on the camaro, but that's what he said.  Same with his truck.  The Camaro that motor came out of did run 12.1, but it belonged to another friend of his(the builder) who does go to the real track.  That's what the engine setup came out of.

Joesgarage71:  I don't know what to say, all I know is that my truck put down 380 on the dyno.  Have you seen the video of my truck?  My cam sounds about as mild as anyone else's.  Like I said, go check out LS1tech, you'll see what real cams in these motors are like.  I can't really explain my setup/results, but I can give you a proven/guaranteed 100HP setup on a 5.3.....just let me know.

85MudMonster: Yeah, he called me out for a street race because he got a new motor.  I already raced him 6 times with his old motor and I lost 5 times....so I guess he just wants to see if he'll beat me by more...I don't know.  Not only that, but I've recently taken more pride in my truck and I don't want to risk losing it over a meaningless streetrace.  We've both put a lot of effort into our trucks, so it would suck to either crash or get'em impounded. 6.0 is what motor I have in my truck..as in Lq4 based off the LS1.


Thank you CaptKaos.  That's similar to what I have going on, but I have the aluminum heads and a bigger cam.
