I kind of feel bad about it about keeping it on the down low having people think its a stock LS1…
the truth is, Its a 01 LS6…heres the story…
They went to go order the LS1 Long block. Right from GM they wanted 6k for it, and it would have taken a week to get there…Well, they did some more local searching and ended up finding a local long block that was in a ware house for a few years…well since it was there for a while, they sold the Long block for 3800.00…catch is, it was a left over LS6…NOT the 405 hp one, the 385hp rated one…The 01 LS6. John knew, Bret knew, and one of my other friends knew, but that is all. When I was getting gas today off exit 8, a northstar tech approached me and asked me how the new motor was running…I said very well, I already have over 400 miles on it…He said yah, you made out on one hell of a deal with a dealership covered LS6…At first, I was planning on never saying anything so I ground off the 243 numbers off the head to destroy the evidence about a week ago lol…The car only has the current old LS1 factory tune in it, so the motor has ALOT more in it, after a good dyno tune…that is all.
well like I said, She needs a dyno tune. I need to get the 01-02 Z06 Fuel trims/timing tables etc and write them onto my car…then it will be running alot better.
pretty much…a little slower then one tho. Prolly around the same as a bone stock one vs my bolt on one because they are lighter and better aerodynamics.
i had more than a good idea when i asked how his ls1 was the other night and all i got back was a shit eating grin at hess… i knew some game was afoot at that point in time.
