It's only going to get worse. Scared to see what the new setup will run?

 

Florida's a hot bitch...

'round this time of year my car turns into a summer cruiser and the watercraft come out to play

 

untuned? I know before I got my car tuned it ran like complete crap... barely idled at lights and when it did, it was very very rough. Id say a 14.0 AT BEST... most likely a low 14, especially since he doesnt have exhaust. BTW... why even put your car through that torture of dragging it w/o a tune? That cant be good...

 

thats hot, you can always figure out the DA and correct the timeslip, i'm going to opening day at the track near me this sat and its forcasted for a high of 41, lol that should be some good air.

 

Don't these cars run 14.0-13.8 stock?

 

13.8? That is a freak of a stock LT1... usually low to mid 14's

 

I don't know why people always say untuned cars run like crap. When my car was first finished and the trans wasn't so bad, untuned, I would pull stay dead even with my buddies 113mph LT1 car.

 

A high 13 sec pass with a m6 and good conditions is doable, if the car runs mid 14's the car needs a tuneup or the driver mod, i know this firsthand, my car was runing low 15's stock, turns out that was on 7 cylinders since a plug wire was almost cut in half by the belt, then when i did the cam one of the intake lobes was almost nonexistant, so that was on like 6 cylinders, haha.

 

4.50s @ 330ish. If you can hook.

 

U may think my car is crazy but I really didnt notice THAT much of a differance after I got my car tuned. It did idle a bit smoother and gained a little power but it wasnt as much as u would think. I ran 8.28 in the 1/8 which is around 12.9's in the 1/4 without my car even being tuned yet. The fastest 1/8th mile time I have ever run with my cam was when it was UNTUNED. I had mid-length headers and a crappy 2600 stall that i got off ebay. So its possible without headers u could get 13.3-13.4 but thats if its almost a perfect run. Good luck with whatever u decide.

 

damn, top fuel cars can't even do that, where can i get one of these "hotcams" hahahah

 

Thats what my car ran with the hotcam, untuned, with no headers, and on radials back in 1999










Ok ok...it really ran 13.30s @ 105-106ish with that set-up

 

My quess, high 13s. Don't drop your tire pressure at the track. Just spin them a couple of rotations to clean them off. No big or small burnouts.

 

I know this thread is a bit old, but I am doing research and I am shocked by what I am hearing...

Basically you guys are saying this car would be a high 13's Camaro with a hotcam?

I had CIA, madZ28 tune, exhaust, 3.73's and was running 13.6's @ 103 or so with 2.01 60's... If our track was prepped good I felt 13.4's coming... I think some of these times quoted are a bit pessimistic. So much so that I don't even want the Hotcam kit my buddy has anymore.

Does the tune make up for all that lost time? Just curious.

 

tune it and get some lts, you're seriously holding yourself back without doing those two things.
