Took the camaro out for its first good run!

I took the car out today with my buddy who owns a 440rwhp 509tq trans am. He said my car defiantly felt strong and I should be right around 400rwhp. We then went in his monster and he showed me what his car can do. WoW! With 430 gears and a supercharger the power is immediate! His car is just amazing to say the least. I cant wait to get some more miles on my car and throw a 100 shot on top of my setup. I am hoping for 11's. Unfortunantly the person who dyno's up here is no longer doing it due to legal issues. So I dont think I will be able to dyno my car and see where its at.

However I am hoping 500rwhp isnt too much out of my reach with a 100 shot.

I got all the little bugs worked out minus a weird stumble at 5k in 3rd gear. I will check the fuel pressure tomorrow and see if that is the problem, if not I may be changing my optispark out for a better setup.

you should pull 12's at least n/a, with a 100 shot low 11's? i know if you hit it with a 150 you should be able to dip 10's.

Re: Took the camaro out for its first good run!

Depending on your suspension setup, car weight, traction etc..you should really be in the 11's now if you ask me. With a 100-150 shot 10's shouldn't be a problem, although there are alot of variables to that.

Yah, I need some slicks on and to put my 9" in. Then I should be in the 11's for sure.

I will try and make it to the track this weekend and see what I do for MPH through the quarter.

Ya 11s na should be possible...do some weight reduction and get traction and you'll be there. Sprayin to a 10 would be cool too.

Good Luck
