[Slow-V6]

When I had my V6 with my Heads and cam motor I made 225rwhp and 225rwtq. I wanted to put a 12 bolt in my car because I got sick of breaking the 10 bolts but aside from the cost of the 12 bolt I didnt want to loose power. There is a bigger drivetrain loss with the 12 bolt over the 10 bolt. On a LS1 car its not bad because the car makes 320 rwhp stock and loosing 5 hp isnt a big deal but on a car that makes 225 rwhp I felt I needed ever HP I can get.

I wanted to keep my car at stock weight. I did not want to start weight reduction because I drove my car to much. If you are worried about rotating mass and adding more weight then dont get new wheels! Of course there is another option for aftermarket rims. I had the Prostars skinny fats on my car. My front skinnies with 165 15 tires on them weighed about 22lbs and the rears with 265 50 15's weighed about 35 lbs. I had Futura tires from pepboys. My stock 16 inch chrome wheels with the 255 50 16 tires on them weighed around 48 lbs each. when it was all said and done my car lost about 80 lbs over stock with the new wheels and Aluminum D/S. If I had to do it over again I would have gotten the 16 inch Pro stars or the 15 inch Drag lights so I wouldnt have to grind the brakes down.

I did go from my stock 17 inch WS6 wheels on my 02 WS6 with Y2k 17/18 inch wheels. They are heavier and I did notice a little difference in acceleration with them.
