How much difference in the WS6 and the Firehawk?

Ws6Wicked

05-23-2009, 11:50 AM

from what ive the read the main differences are the WS6 has an upgraded suspension package, different ram air hood, different bumpers/wing and wheels and a different tune. but there could be more

Glad to see you are lowering it. Why do stock cars always sit so high? Mustangs, F-Bodys.....etc. Also, the stock tips look soooo small in those openings, glad to see u r fixing that too! Are you lovin' the V8 yet?

Any chance your looking for some real go fast parts? My buddy is parting out his blown ws6, I think he would part with the blower and other mods for super cheap, think he will let the whole car go for like $5k. The only bad thing is the bottom end let go but other then that its good.

Nice, thats a decent sized cam you got there. Make sure you replace your springs, pushrods, and rockers when you put that in or you'll wreck the stock stuff in a hurry!

Yea I highly would anticapate that cam to need Fly cutting,:angry2: Stock rockers would be fine IMO LSX stock parts are pretty damn stout, Id only reccomend a rocker upgrade going for single digits with alot more power and violent hi rpm use, Springs and hard pushrods are a must though, best bang for the buck right now are the patriot golds, double sprigs rated for .650 lift, which the MS4 is gonna be beating them up good :P not sure how many street driven miles to expect from them.. in car valve spring swaps are a mutha bitch

oh ive got a while before this goes in, im hoping by the end of this year at latest, and no ive decided to not sell the ws6, remembered i had a bunch of bonds i never cashed so cashed some of them and got enough $ for car payment and insurance till i get a new job

Rust, SOM, they are pretty much one in the same. I cant say ive ever seen a sunset that was that shade, and ive seen plenty. Maybe they just didnt want to call it Rust Orange Metallic? Has sort of a negative connotation to it....

That's a big ass cam. Plan on getting long tubes, mids, cai and possibly intake/throttle body before you put that in so you can let it breathe and get the best gains.

If you read over on LS1tech, there are a few people that have run the MS4 on stock 241's without flycutting. Throw a set of TSP's PRC Stage 2.5 5.3L Heads on there and you'll have a beast on your hands.

07-10-2009, 02:07 PM

He said he was getting or had long tubes but hasn't installed them yet. Should port the TB and intake manifold while you have it apart.

If he plans on doing the porting himself and knows what he's doing, then go for it. If he's going to pay for it I would say it's probably not worth the money. Just buy a Fast 92mm Intake and a Nick Williams or PTM 92mm Throttle Body and call it a day.

I had both my 92mm FAST Intake and my 92mm PTM TB ported and picked up 4 rwhp and 12 rwtq, which is nice but I could have saved the coin for something else.

lolzzz thats weaksauce, I gained that with my dremel job and saved $800.

I'm waiting to see if the 102mm for the LS3's make any power over a ported stocker... if they ever release them.

Anyone that pays $800 for a port job got raped, but the $150 it did cost me could have been better used. I was already at 440+rwhp, so the 12 rwtq I picked up was kind of expected as gains at that level NA will be minimial with minor mods like that.

Putting a 102mm on a LS1/2 wouldn't give you much, if any gains over a 92mm unless you have a ginormous cam/heads combo or you have stroked your motor. This doesn't really apply to FI builds of course.

I'm guessing you have an LS2? FAST 92mm setups have shown nice gains over stock 90mm setups, even the ported ones. This assumes you have other mods done of course as they show minimal gains on stockish cars.

LS3, our heads flow a good bit better then LS1/2 heads. My stock intake manifold and TB is 92mm.

I meant savings over buying the FAST parts not the port job, because I got the same gains with only a port job. I see them go for $600 for the manifold and $175 for the throttle body all the time.

Well the LS3 is a different animal, so I can't comment.
