Performance Q's on a 2000 FRC
I've been contemplating buying a 2000 Black FRC I saw for $32K and 11k miles on it.
I think the price is good. I'm working on some stuff to make this happens.
Wish me luck. Just need a couple of things to fall right in place. :)
My questions are:
What do they run stock in the 1/4 mile?
What's the stock rwhp?
Can you bolt an LS6 intake and LS6 heads on it?
If so, does it matter what year from? Like 01 or 02 LS6 heads?
Is it worth the swap, or am I better off with porting the LS1 stock heads?
Thanks!

Re: Performance Q's on a 2000 FRC (Wicked LT1)
You did not say if the car was an M6 or an A4. I have heard of bone stock A4s dyno with a low of about 280 RWHP to about 295 RWHP you can figure an M6 will dyno 3% to 5% higher. In the 1/4 mile anywhere from mid 13s to a 12.9. Yes, you can bolt on LS6 intake and heads. The 01 and 02 heads should fit, the 02 heads have lightweight sodium valves I am not sure if the porting of the heads is different. I believe fully ported Stage 2 LS1 heads are better than stock LS6 heads. I am not really positive about this maybe some of the other guys will chime in. Good Luck!!!!!!

Dyno: 300-310
yes and yes
I think no
Not sure about swap
Heads and cam for Ls1 yield good results

Re: Performance Q's on a 2000 FRC (BRADS C5)
Thanks for the replies. Learned something. :)
Now, what about the weight?
The Z06 is like in the 3100 pounds range. About the FRC? :confused:

The weight of the FRC is in the 3100 range. About 200 pounds lighter than the coupe. BTW mine dynoed 316 with just a Z06 airbox.

Rich, I think it's more like 75 lbs difference between FRC and Coupe :) The Z06 is approx. 50lbs lighter than FRC :eek:

that would be one of the nicest used cars you could ever consider. black FRC's rule. bone stock, from idle launch, granny shifting, 13.3@109. ~300 rwhp sae corr. you can bolt the LS6 intake and heads on, no prob. year doesn't matter. you are better off doing "regular" heads/cam, plus LS6 intake + long tubes. I am over 400 sae corr rwhp with these mods plus underdrive pulley. don't see too many taillights. :)

Yeah, I like black cars. I currently own a 96 Z28. Time to move up to the big leagues. I love the FRC, and I hope my plans work out, to allow me to get this car. I was thinking that a stage II heads and cam package, LS6 intake and LT's will be a pretty decent power maker package.
I'd love to add the 3.73 gears to it, but for what I've seen they're pretty expensive mod, I don't know if it'll be worth the money.
BTW, with your current mods, what times are you running?
Thanks.

well, the kind of times I do are measured in lap times :) so I can't help ya there, though from what other very similar cars who are into drag racing do, should be about 118 ~ 120 mph in the 1/4..

Not sure, but MT said 18lbs difference if I remeber correctly. Tires and Exhaust are lighter... but the other Z06 engine and suspension componets are heavier.

The tires and wheels alone are 23 lbs lighter.Then the exhaust......weighs almost half of LS1 exhaust(50lbs?) :) I wonder which components add weight? I know the windshield is a little lighter.

Re: Performance Q's on a 2000 FRC (ncvetteman)
All the FRC's I seen at the track ran from 13.0's to 12.7's. Mine dyno @ 325hp 338tq with vortex ram air and 178t-stat.
I ran 12.72 @ 112mph speed shifting last year on run craps. FRC's are about 100 pounds lighter than the heaviest coupes.
I now slapped on the Loudmouth exhaust system and it saved me 22lbs. For handling, drag racing and road racing you can
beat the hard top specially for the price...Keep it hard baby!!! :mad :mad
