It's all good man.
I got slowly pulled on by a modded WS6 Trans-Am this weekend. 1st gear roll from like 15mph till about early 3rd gear I'd say. He pulled 1 car on me. :[
I was only running 8psi on my non-sequentials though.
Gonna be turnin' it up to 10-11psi via manual boost controller by the end of the week, though.
No spikes, creeps, or under/over-boosting.
I love the sheer feeling of PREDICTABLE power. *dances*

Those WS6's are no joke. Had an 02 at my work, it was pretty damned fast. Burned tires through first 3 gears. I actually did a burnout in it, and laid patches about 50 feet long. Just too heavy...

a ws6 is the same as a camaro ss, z28, firebird formula, firehawk and trans am...jsut wanted to clear that up cause some of the people I know hear SS, firehawk or ws6 and automatically assume its faster.

yeah, only thing i noticed differently was the rims. maybe suspension is different?
this thing was worked though, header, straight exhaust, no cats, and had some motor work done to it also. from what the mechanics told me in the shop. the car supposedly ran an 11.6 at one time from the previous owner.

probably didn't have internal work...internals will last 100k miles at 450rwhp. it probably had a nice cam...maybe different heads and some suspension... 11.6 is nothing for a modified lsx engine. a cam and full exhaust with the good ole driver mod will get you there. good sus[pension and good tires can get a 1.6 60ft too.

11.6 doesnt sound to far off. I had a friend in high school who ran 11.98 in a stock WS6, fully striped and on slicks. Allthough......i wouldent be suprised if a FD ,fully striped, on slicks couldent do the same.

eh, he said he ran that on street tires, but decent ones. it also had a super tough clutch, some carbon kevlar two piece or some ****. also had 4:10 gears(or 4:73). it had a **** load of torque though, it was fun to drive, but I just could not take a turn at 50mph without tightening up my *******.
