What a terrific thread. Has potential to be a classic.

I did 124 in the quarter with 437 rwhp in a bolt on (and lighter) base M6. I'd say 450-460 rwhp for 125-126.

All the OP needs is the bolt ons and a mild cam.

What's the typical torque gain with this cam on an LS3? I'm looking for a cam that yields great midrange torque gains.

Are you able to share the duration specs (ball park)?

Those numbers are 30-40 rwhp more than I would expect from a Mustang dyno. Happy dynos are fun, but meaningless for real comparison with others' results. A stock LS3 auto on a typical dynojet will...

You shared all of your reasoning as to why you are looking for 550 + rwhp, so discussing that was fair game. You also implied the concern that a H&C setup would only get you into the 10s on days...

What do you think? What would you expect for a trap speed in the 1/4 at sea level for this power in a 1LT base MN6?

I would suggest just leaving off idle and working up from there. You may just have been too ambitious with the launch rpm. You can run a 12 just leaving off idle (manual or A6). Work your way up...

My 1LT '08 M6 went 124 in the quarter with just bolt ons, so I won't agree that it takes a cam to get to the Z06 "level" in a straight line (and it kind of irritates me to keep reading that). Lots of...

4:10 = 4/10 or 0.40.

4.10:1 = 4.10.

The gears that are available are 4.10:1 gears. Big difference from 0.40:1 gears, which don't exist and would be ridiculous.

I wonder what your uncorrected dyno numbers are. Everyone you're racing has to deal with the same air, at least.
