Re: How loud is your v6?

So it runs pretty good with the 2.8 intake? Guess a 12.51 explains it all...haha.

Re: How loud is your v6?

my 91 RS stock 3.1 midas muffler sounds not too bad
although compared to my 5.7 TPI the 3.1 sounds like it
is as they say 'farting bees' still way better than rice

Here's a video of my exhaust. Has holes near the cat, and holes near the muffler. Fuel pump was failing, so was running very lean.

Re: How loud is your v6?

considering it probably makes about 140 WHP, weighs in at 3200 lbs i'd say a 16-16.5

It would take about a 200 shot of nitrous to put that combo into the mid 12's.

Re: How loud is your v6?

Disregard....didn't notice the N/A part :P
But I bet I can run something pretty close to that once my hybrid swap is done, if not I'm sure I could with a few more mods.

that's actually pretty good, with iron heads?


I don't know if mine will hit the track this year or not, and if it does there will be a lot of bugs to work out. I don't expect to start laying down serious times until 2011. I'll need to find a posi rear and tune the 4L60E, also start over from scratch on my engine tune.


I still hold the record for the fastest N/A 60 degree Jbody at 13.07 @ 107 mph.

Re: How loud is your v6?

What setup and power output/tq levels was that with? Once I finish my build I'm going to race a friend's mustang GT,(2003 I think) and I need to at least get 15s or 14s to stand a chance...13s I'm pretty sure I would win. But Idk how much power that takes =/

between 2700 and 2800 lbs with driver, 275 WHP, about 260 WTQ, 5 speed trans, Mickey Thompson ET/Drag slicks. My 60' times were always weak because i could never hook up, usually around 1.9.

You only add 100 lbs? :P Even if I dropped 15 lbs(enough to make me considered skinny) I'd still weigh like 150 lbs =/

Re: How loud is your v6?

lol, yah.. i add about 190 lbs on an average day. I did strip out the interior which saved an easy 80-100 lbs.


At the end i was shaving 10 lbs here and there by switching around wheels and removing everything i could. Might weigh it this summer when i put it back together. Gotta do the same to the Camaro after i get the boat anchor out of it too.

Re: How loud is your v6?

I shaved off like maybe a lb by removing my sagging headliner :P
Now the Ac delete and heads though should lose me about 100 lbs, and I plan on getting a fiberglass hood to drop another 50, I need a new hood anyways, mines got some fairly bad rust at the front =/
Kind of random, but anyone know how easy/doable making the louvers on an IROC-Z fiberglass hood functional is?
