Re: LS6 Coupe
<blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr>
However I also found that when we cut the compression back to 10:1 the car felt stronger. <hr></blockquote> Interesting...I've always felt the L-78/L-72/LS-6 craved compression, and it seems as the compression rises, so does power (the break-over point seems to be 13:1). Case in point: Jensen's Chevelle just ran a [email protected], and he is right at 12:1, in Pure Stock form, and he is considering "Certifying" this car. Our L-72 has 10.2:1, and I wish it had 12.2:1...

Re: LS6 Coupe
Maybe I should clarify the statement...I am refering to a street driven car, so maybe it has something to do with the gas quality and the ability to keep the car in tune easier. When the motor is freshened (hopefully 2003..) I'll try the "ultimate" performance thing...12:1, headers, stickys in the back, good gear, etc...
