Default My first car in 12's!

1998 Camaro Z28 hardtop about 110k, stock A4 and converter, SLP air lid, MSD wires, 1&3/4" Texas Speed & Performance LT's & their 3" catted Y pipe into stock exhaust pipe minus muffler, and 3.73 gear w/ stock LSD and stock rims and street tires.

I'm super happy with this thing because previously I had a 2010 Dodge Ram 4x4 w/ supercharged Hemi making 445whp that never broke into the 12's but sure did like breaking transmission and breaking the bank!
Right lane

Great job with those mods. I never could get below 13.0 without a good stall. Those gears must have done it for you. Congrats.

Thank you rybern. Actually with the 2.73 gear I did a best of 13.4 @103mph and after switching to the 3.73 I did a best of 13.3 @ 104mph and was disappointed it didn't do better. It was the LT headers, Y pipe and high flow cats that seemed to really wake it because first run of the night I got a 13.2 @ 107mph and worked at my launch that night until I got my 12.9 then had it tuned on the dyno the next day and got another 11whp and 10 torque so I'm dying to go back!
