The engine displacement is 6.8L/414 cid, Callaway developed and assembled. It has a 4.125" bore GM Motorsport cyl. block, 3.875" stroke 4340 steel crankshaft, custom forged pistons, CNC-ported heads, custom camshaft and valvetrain, etc., with stock 6 speed man. trans., on 93 octane pump gas. A very streetable configuration. It had 3.90 gears and drag radials when it turned the 10.7's.
(Current production Callaway SuperNatural 550's are 427's/7.0L with stock final drive ratio. The man. trans. cars are capable of consistent 10.9's on drag radials.)

I had a big problem going from my C5 shifter to the C6 until I practiced, now I can shift my C6 just as fast.

MM6 is the option code for the 6 speed manual without it.
Both use the Tremec T56 6pseed manual. However the Z51 equipped car (MZ6) has more aggressive transmission gearing, through gears 1,2,3 for quicker acceleration.

So you are saying I can find 2-3 tenths in shift points? So far the best results have been shifting all at redline, in fact I tapped the limiter briefly on the 3-4 on the best time. Anytime I go less on any shift I'm much slower, usually 2-3 tenths. What did you find to be optimal shift points?

I'll tell you one thing though.... those pesky C5 LS6's sure have more top end than us. I ran next to JohnSea06 all day and he handed me my behind every time if he was close at 1000 ft. I had to tree him good to beat him.
I'm scheduled for headers, trans brace, hardened shaft & 3:90's on Wednesday. Might go for a little lower than 1.8's with that setup
. My goal is 11's with these mods only. Trying to avoid camming this car, the smooth idle and mindless starting and running is hard to give up.

Another tip for the manual trans guys, if you're not powershifting you're losing time also. With every manual trans car that I've drag raced, I've gotten at least 2 tenths of a second improvement by powershifting, compared to letting off the gas between shifts. The most important shift change to powershift is the 1-2, if you can at least do that one, that's where most of your improvement comes from.

I've never powershifted any car in my life, not worth beating up my tranny and clutch IMHO.
Of course, I always mention my times are grannyshifted.
If you want to powershift and get those extra strengths, by all means go for it!

Key word is properly power shifting. In my opinion done well it does not hurt anything. You can also shift without a clutch and not harm a vehicle if done properly by an expert.
Unfortunately most will tear the he11 out of their vehicle learning how.
