wait wait...so your saying that a KL-ZE rated at ~ 200hp (crank) in an mx-3 could NOT beat a stock mx-6 with 160hp (crank)? i'm a bit confused...

Re: What tuning options are there??

Yea, I was about to post and say something along the lines of "How the f**k did you get that out of what he said?", but now that I read it again, I see what you mean. lol I think Lone_Night_Fox was just rambling at that point... i dunno, because an KLZE MX3 will beat an MX6 no problem.

Re: What tuning options are there??

sorry for the confusion... I was saying how that the HP rating couldn't be too much lower than 170hp for the MX-6... mainly because it beat a 200hp Camaro. also the weight is closer between the Camaro and the MX-6 (the MX-3 is a little lighter than the MX-6). thats all. I know the KLZE or KLDE(k03) MX3 will beat a MX-6 no problem... and should also beat the Camaro too!

Re: What tuning options are there??

If it is a stock camaro then yes, most likely, unless it is an IROC-Z or the newer SS versions, they would blow your doors off. A 98 Z28 SS does 13.6 in the quarter.... so forget about that, but chevys are all straightline cars... put it in the twisties and your KLZE would smoke it.

Re: What tuning options are there??

You could probably beat a camaro on mountain roads without the KLZE swap. I'm not sure about that cause I don't know a whole lot about domestics, but I'm pretty sure it can be done. The camaros RWD would suck on those corners, and i pretty sure the weight difference is pretty significant.
I'll have to try it sometime!

Ive heard bad things about flashoptions myself. And think about it... How can they offer half the pice yet promise the same quality? It just doesnt add up.
