I took my camaro to Rockingham last week, just curious if these are about on par with what it should be....I was hoping for better.
Here's the mods

1994 Z stock engine w/150,000mi., Spec III clutch, 3.42 gears with worn out posi in the 7.5, sportline eibach springs, Weld Prostars with 26x10.50 ET Streets, ATI P600b@8psi, some brand of shorty headers, holley 52mm TB, 255lph fp, flowmaster muffler only, stock I-pipe, subframe connectors

I dont have the slips here, but what I remember was:
60' 1.97
1/8 8.18
1/4 12.54@112mph

Before the blower, the car ran 13.7@102mph

I was hoping for lower 12s, but with no tuning except for me with a tech I, I guess I cant be picky

Does this sound about normal for my mods? I am soon adding a 9" with around 4.10 gears, Jet hot long tubes and true dual 3" exhaust, should this get me low 12's-high 11's?

Thanks
Stevie

oh, that is a stock motor that has had 125 shot sprayed on it regular from 75,000 until about 5,000 ago when I put the blower on:D

I give it every opportunity to die if it wants to, but it loves me and wants to stick around:)

I am considering giving it a small shot (like 75 or so) with the blower to see what happens before I swap in the 396;)

I think those times are good for just the supercharger for power and those 60' times. I wouldn't go lower than 3.73's if you are staying with a blower or n2o. You could go low low 12's if it can stick and 60'. A little practice driving could help until you break the rear. ;) I ran 10.80's@126mph on a stock bottomend just a cam and ported LT1 heads(stock valves) + 150hp N2o.:cool:

were you at rockingham on the 12th? i was there also :D

if you want to get that thing tuned, you should check out www.Carolinaautomasters.com Jeff Creech is the man when it comes to LT1's, i'm sure he could get some more ET outta that motor for you :)
