Question about a WS-6 Trans Am
#11
Really depends on the cam and how good the tune is, but if its something like a mid-sized cam like a 224/224 .58 114lsa whatever, then with the slicks and skinnies he could definitely be well into the 11s. My mods/ET are in my sig. Like Greddy said, if I had some slicks/skinnies and could actually launch above idle, then I'd be able to run low 11s no problem. I'm basically leaving off idle and rolling into it to get what I got. Anyway, yea your buddy could pull it off if everything was set-up and tuned right.

I have the following mods (I have some internal stuff from the fresh short block not typically mentioned but full disclosure...) ...
TMS L33 Shortblock (I have ~12K on it) with stock LS1 spec
LS6 Cam
LS6 Springs
LS7 Lifters
LS7 Clutch
Melling Oil Pump (High Pressure)
Hardened Trick Flow pushrods
BBK 1 3/4 Longtubes
MTI Lid
HP Tuners (Tuned)
The weight of the car comes into play as well as conditions/track... I'm in the 3370 range with a full tank of gas now (add me and race weight is a fat 3530lbs) and Cordova is pretty crazy when the weather cooperates. (A friend went 12.7 @ 110 in a bone stock 5th Gen SS last fall). I could get this setup into the high 11s with DRs and the rest of the bolt ons pretty easy. If someone knows what they are doing a donkey dick cam and sticky tires will have no issue pulling mid 11s or better. Weight reduction and 10s are possible... I almost don't want to bring it up but...
Cam Only LS1 9.986 @132.17 *current record*
2900 raceweight, stock 241 heads (2001+ motor), TH350 Trans, 12 Bolt (this is the reason people hate 'cam only' but thats the term)

I guess it should be able to lift a tire assuming he is dumb enough to launch at 6k and his rear stayed in one piece. Not a smart move, but possible. Guy sounds like a bit of a bull ****ter though.
