Thumbs up 1ST RUN!!! Advice please.

Well I got whooped by everybody at the track, including a fast 92 rustang. I am very satisfied with my times though. My car is a 2002 camaro SS A4 All stock except the install university mods of free ram air, and mass air port. I run bf goodrich 275/40's which spinned like a SOB. My best was 13.562 @ 103.684 but the other 5 passes were 13.6_ _ @ 102._ _ altitude, well were in louisiana, so close to sea level, but 100 plus degree temp. The rustang ran 13.2 he pulled me by about 3 cars, he was running 331 stroker, MT drags, and tremec with mac shorties and high rise, and 3.73's. My best 60 was 2.002 and average 1/8 was 8.850 The car shifted third about 200 ft from the finish line everytime and bogged. I'm thinking that 3.73's would fix this. Overall with a stock car, I am very satisfied, even with street tires and spinning for a long ways it did well, and was super consistant with the E/T's What would be the cheapest way of putting this sucker in the high 12's without running NOS? Feedback is appreciated, will have video later. Thanks

Don't worry about 3.73's yet, change out the stock heavy converter and put on some drag radials and you will see your 12s. Also much higher RPM's at the traps.

Smile Thanks!!!! Would a 3.73 and maybe a cam get it there?

I was launching at a very high RPM, in fact as much as it would go without spinning, on a couple of launches it was spinning a little prior to launching, I think the temps hurt. Regardless I had alot of fun today, and although, the mustang beat me, he had put 6000 in the drivetrain, I havn't put a penny in mine, and he was just 4/10 or so faster than me. I am very happy with my LS1

If you want to go 12's fast get a tire and a converter. Some more bolt on would help you get there quick too but tire and converter would do it with a tire. Also a cam swap is not bad you can gewt all you need to do one for about 1000 which isnt bad. plus labor unless you do it.
