sick z28, drag time is ?>*(

second time to track, 96z28, msd, cai, 373 gear, high stall torque converter, 4le60 tran with b&m shift kit, m/t dr. 1/4 was 14.1, 95mph, that's the best we got, our 1/8 mile was good 8.5 or so, we were ahead in the 8th on all three runs, we were in 3rd gear crossing line, but when shifted to 3rd there is no top end at all, I have had this car for maybe 6 months and we want to build, yes we have a 122000 on it but oil pressurer is great whqt sould I do first, I am thinking change heads to lt4 ported and polished, cam and add headers, man if the new camaro were out I would junk this thing...my son said dad don't worry we will get it faster...

What were you hoping for? When was the last tune up done? Lots of variables on the table. The stock exhaust sucks for one. What was your 60' times?

What's your 60'? What gears do yo have in this thing? 2.73's suck. I've had two cars, one with the 2.73's and one with the 3.23's and there is a huge diff.

With a tune up, full boltons, DR's, and the right gears low 13's should not be a problem. You should get all of the boltons first anyways to support the head and cam your thinking of doing.

As stated before, get rid of ALL of the factory exhaust and you'll see a big improvement.
