What kind of 60ft. time?

With 370rwhp, 3.73 gears, 2800 Vig. stall and a full weight Camaro what kind of 60ft. times should I be happy with if the car dead hooks? I hear of people cutting 1.60's. Is that possible with my set-up?

If anything, the weak point in your setup with respect to your 60' times is your converter. 2800 might be a little low to pull a 1.6x. Then again, it's a Vig, and Vig's do good things.

Let us know how it goes!

With 50 or more less HP than you I was cutting mid 1.7 on drag radials and the car went 12.36@110

With the supercharger and a 3800 converter (that hit around 4200) I went low 1.6's

I have a full set of QA1 shocks and springs if your interested - that will get your 60's down.

I sold the Z

Re: What kind of 60ft. time?

Hey Dark Horse I may be interested in the QA1s/springs...I'm havibg a hard time hooking with the addition of the Kooks stepped LTs and EWP...Even the new Bogarts 275 50R15 M/T Radials are having a hard time...I'm spinning to a 1.59...My suspension guru is going to install relo brackets, check and set the pinion angle, but he suggested the QA1 set up...which springs do you have and which series of shocks are they...Thanks..

...Zrated, you may need a bit more converter like 3600 for your set up as it sounds similar to mine ...
