Halfrican is just a troll, its becoming pretty f'n obvious... Look at this threads and posts, here is only here to cause controversy.
Actually Bill, the LS6 was only used in the early ZO6 (and later the Cadillac CTS V-Series). It was never between the fenders of the base Camaro, Trans AM or Corvette. They were always the LS1 based engine. The LS1 did however receive the LS6 intake manifold starting in 2001 to up the grunt a little, but swapped out to smaller camshafts in order to even power levels out.somehow the venerable LS-1 has once again become something it isn't. i say venerable and i mean it. it's old and out of date. be careful which LS-1 version you mention as some kind of killer. i know for myself that 97-00 ls-1's are killed at tracks everywhere by any quick car. i leave 01-02 out of this, as they are really LS-6's.

This mustang has an LS1 in it:
Jay said:The car was a nitrous car for 2 or 3 cars. Always with a 525" BBC and one fogger. The best pass ever was a 8.39 @ 166. The car always ran at 3520#'s and stock suspension.
I never did too great with the car. I qualified 4th in Braadenton at the NMCA opener, and finished 4th in the race. Also won a local race when I wrecked the car. At least I've always put on a good show. Lifting normally isn't an option.
It's always been alot of fun for me, and I enjoy every minute of it. Spark Plug works on it as much as me, and has been to every single race. Can't do it without him, won't even try.
And the car is now apart for a turbo upgrade. www.prolineraceengines.com has the motor. Hoping to be racing soon. Everything always takes longer than planned... Planning on being well into the 7's this go around.

Spark Plug said:from when we first built the car or the current motor set up? there should still be some pics in the rides section of when we where builing the car. you want a time line of when we built the car to now? as far as races go, we qualified #4 in bradenton for nmca, and lost int he semi's. made a local easter race and won that race, but that is the same race jay put it in the wall right past finish line. after the car was finished again we went to memphis were it ran a best of 8.3. but we messed up the motor first round. after being built again the motor broke a rod on the dyno, which is why we are currently switching to a pt106 turbo on alchohol.
ok, i have been gone a while and...
