Smile Another "How are these times?" thread

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

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.
