Parts change for the good.

I pulled out my VRX3 cam and replaced it with a custom grind. The specs are 234/238 .610/.605 on 112+1. I also changed to the LS7 clutch and flywheel. This thing is crazy fast now trapping in the 124 range. I love this car, just wish I had a rearend to let me get through first and second gears now. If it had a good rearend, I would be tickled pink. It is even trying to spin in third gear now. I am going to take it to a Dynojet sometime in the next couple months and post up the graph for you guys. I am pulling 491rwhp now on this guys dyno, but when I first went to him I lost 27rwhp on this dyno versus my last pull on a dynojet. All numbers were SAE corrected.

I'm plannig on running the VRX3 cam myslef, besides the quest for more power...did you like this cam? my car is daily driver and thats why i wanted to run the X3 cam...since you've had it please provide your overall feedback/minus the need for more

Probably everything you can get for a naturally aspirated motor. Trickflow heads, ported 92mm fast intake, ported 90mm throttle body, Kooks headers, Xpipe, Volant cold air, Xpipe with no cats, Magnaflow catback, underdrive pulley, ARP cam and rod bolts and 42lb injectors. I wouldn't know what else to get, it's maxed out, I am sure.

What are the ETs?

peedeerooster · #6 (**permalink**) 01-04-09, 11:41 PM

Silly peddling into the upper 11's. First gear is about 1/2 throttle, soft shift into second and 2/3 to 3/4 throttle, soft shifting to third, rolling the throttle down and it is gone. Pulls 3rd and fourth like a raped ape. Hell, with a good rearend and some MT drag radials, it would cut alot of that ET down. But, with the current rear, I guess high 11's is all that is available without exploding the rear. Guess, it's just a good roll car, kinda like the ricers want to run unfortunately. I am still impressed as crap though with what 346 cubic inches can make with all the right parts. If this motor was in a fbody auto with about a 3K stall it would ET quite well.

This daggone car is 10mph faster in trap speed than my Mach1 mustang with all the boltons and doesn't ET any better. Just goes to show ET is all about the launch. But, it is fun on the road.

I am going to add electric cutouts and see if I can touch that magical 500 mark on his dyno.

VRX3 for sale

peedeerooster · #11 (**permalink**) 01-05-09, 12:32 PM

The Vrx3 is going in the 6 liter for the truck. Thanks.

We would all like to see your 11 second time slips or a video, the 11 second club in the V community is very small (only two cars right now).

It would be mid 10s.

Sounds like you have some non believers on the 11 second runs. You don't have to lie, we all know these cars don't perform at the track.

I think that car can make it in the 11s for sure, I must be crazy if i think i can get close to the 11s on street tires with my mod list then?
CAI/Ported TB/ !cat x pipe borla muffers/ls7 clutch/125shot/TPSi LT/%25 UD pulley/3750 WO driver.

My 02 SS with ported T/b/LID/100shot/no muffler went 12.2@118

on street tires.

That's haulin azz. Both ET and that trap speed. Specially for a truck.
