Question about a WS-6 Trans Am
#3
That's about what I thought. My buddy had one back in the day with those exact mods. I saw him recently after a long time and were talking cars. He (jokingly) said my car is slow and his old WS-6 would have killed it easy. I asked what that thing ran back then, as I'd totally forgot. He said it ran low 11s. I thought that didn't sound right at all, so I decided to ask around.

Cam-only? mid 10s.
jokes... LS1 guys make some crazy claims.
More realistically I believe they can hit mid 11s. but depends on the other mods. A lot of LS1 guys say, "cam-only" and what they mean is weight reduction, suspension, full exhaust, every other possible thing you can do outside of doing heads or FI. example:
so if your friend doesn't have all the supporting mods along with it and depending on cam more likely somewhere in the lower 12s.
Nice to see the 2011 5.0 mustang finally beating LS1s(stock for stock, mod for mod)... only took ford 13 years
but yeah, cam only cars have hit 450whp... apparently an electric water pump on those cars frees up a lot of power too... 400whp is a bit more normal, just depends on cam and mods.
It's one reason I decided to get rid of my 07 GT... just sad when a mildly modded 15 year old camaro/trans-am can beat your supercharged mustang.. I saw a lot of tail lights from those guys.
Once they do heads they can see 10s.

The mods I listed were what he had. I remember the car (he used to let me drive it alot, but I never took it to the track) and the mods. It really just had the cam, gears, and tires like I posted. I just couldn't remember what it ran back then, but I thought low 11s didn't sound right.

did it have headers too? If it had longtubes, a good cam, those gears, a really good tune, I'm assuming a 6sp and a really good drivers mod, and tires good enough to where he could launch it really well, then a low 11 isn't out of the question. It'd be rare with those mods, but could be believable.
Look at stones car for example. mild cam, unported 243's, bolt ons, mild stall, and 11.6's on a 555r. I'm sure he could click off some bottom bottom 11's if he'd put a mans cam in it with a better tire and take a little weight off it.
