I'm not sure where you got this from. SS will take it all the way. If by top end you mean the LT with the optional pirelli's will go 155 as well. Then that would be accurate, but it's safe to say the SS will get there much sooner.

Have you done much street racing ? Small block will smoke a big block off the line, then the big block will catch and smoke the small block.... It's all a matter of the torque curve. The big block does much better from a roll ... Same principle V6 against V8 .... Both are governed for the same top end ..... Don't forget the Lt is tuned and the SS is stock ... ( with proper tune it is very possible )

Since when did a V6 become a "small block" more like "itsy bitsy block" if you want to give it a name!

And we don't street race. People who know what they are talking about take it to the track!!

Read my post ... "small block" was used in an analogy as far as power and torque curv ...... I NEVER said a V6 was a small block ..... READ before posting ...

Ah your just a youngin I take it ..... Besides all this was purely hypothetical ....

Does anyone know who can tune the V6 computer yet? I read that it has a different ECM than the V8 and isn't supported by the major tuning companys.

You are correct, at this time the support isn't there. Just like with anything else, if there is money to be made there will be support ....

That's right 60's era ..... Hmmmm ever ask your self why NASCAR went to small block engines ? That's right small blocks, 358 c.i. @850 HP ..... What was that, because they have better bottom end torque and power.... That's what I thought you said .....

You rubbing it in?

Don't sweat it. Just depends on who's SS.

SlingShot · 08-01-2009, 04:57 PM

OK... Lets really change it up ... Lets say we took the V6 out of a Buick Grand National and stuck it in a 2Lt/RS ...... Now how will it perform against a SS ..... Still think that V6 will get smoked ?
