Thanks
Chris

 

Nothing wrong with lil N20 , thats what i would do with the mods you already have. if not N20, i would look into some aftermarket heads **hint hint** Llyod Elliot portworks www.eportworks.com

Also maybe a 52mm TB, and a Madz28 tune?

 

Well you got lots of good stuff in there already .About only things left are some nice heads and nitrous or other big power adders.You could get a 52 tb and mabye some injectors.And maybe try and underdrive pulley.

I would think you should be faster with all that stuff if you had good drag tires.What were you 60fts and what altitude are you at.?

 

The best 60 ft I could pull with my Camaro was a 1.98 and thass on some NITTO Drags. 315's but there really worn out though. ALSO> People have been telling me to put my stock springs back on . MY camaro is pretty low about a 2inch drop with Jamix springs. Something to do with wieght transfer. IM thinking about that. If I go nitrous. Im thinking about direct port. OR is it really worth it to go direct port when I can put on a two stage on the intake elbow. I dont know thass why I need advise LOL

I think you need a little suspension and a good tire. No sense in throwing a bunch of money into a Nitrous setup when you won't even be able to take advantage of it. Your mph looks low too I would get it dyno tuned and see if that helps, or maybe it will diagnose that you have other problems. A little weight reduction will help as well and your friends are right about the springs and the weight transfer thing.

 

Ok Ill get that done this month. Im sure someone would wont to trade my Jamix Lowering springs for Stock Springs. Also just wondering. With my set up. And if I were to build my suspension UP to harnest power. IF were to add nitrous. Could I get away with a 175 shot or so?
Chris

 

An LE packagewouuld be my first suggestion but if you cant afford that we had a saying in the Marine Corps "Spray and pray"

 

Ha Ha Ha Spray or pray HUH. Thass So true. Its like Shooting dice when it comes to Nitrouls You never know if your gonna crap out. OH well. I was thinking abut a Supercharger. BUt I forgot. That my compression is 10:1 which I believe is TOO high. Im just wondering with my set up. What is the highest shot I could get away with.
Chris

 

with a 175 you will need a bigger fuel pump and probably an ignition box to retard the timing unless you use racing fuel, and your stock injectors may begin to max out with a cam and 175 shot. And if you get the suspension built a little and get a sticky tire.....BOOM! that is the sound of your 10 bolt rearend exploding under the power of a good ol' juiced LT1 . Not saying it for sure will happen, but the odds are against you. Oh and your tranny may not appreciate the brute torque of a 175 shot and may crap out after 1 run, or may last many years (if you spray through your shifts dont count on it lasting long)


Curious, but do you have your car tuned at all (mail order or dyno tuned)?

 

12-bolt.

 

You are pretty high for superchargers but nitrous don't care and you have forged pistons.So likely a 175 wet is no problem but you will likely need a new fuel pump.You don't need bigger injectors for wet shot but you would for dry.

 

Mark I have a PCM FOrless TUNE. ALot of people have been telling me to get my car tuned first. Then start adding the mods. They told me to but a lap top. (LT1 Edit) And start learning. That way We can see what really needs to happen. IM thinking maybe TB and injectors for right now. THen ILL get that tune done. What do you guys thinks

I would check out all the work that has been done so far. A 13 second run with everything done to that car is aweful. It should be in the mid 12s easy. Perhapps that cam is not right for your application, the exhaust duration is pretty high. I would figure out how to get what you already have into the mis 12s, then worry about adding to it!

 

Black and Black. SO basically Get my car TUNED Right first. Then go from there. IF thass what your telling me then thass what people have been telling me alot. THey say I can add all this stuff to my Camaro. Which is OK its gonna make more HP. But I wont see the top resulst with out the proper tuning. WHen I bought that cam I was gonna build myself a nitrous motor. Thass why I put forge pistons in and the nitrous cam (Thass what I was TOLD) I got the cam from Combination Motorsports in Vegas along with matching Valve Springs. Guy told me ILL really see my cam wake up on nitrous. Cuase of the 114 LSA, All of these statements is what ive been told SO im still learning a whole lot about LT1's and Ive had mine for 5 years. im getting better.
