Default Final question: Can my 99 firehawk do lows 12's with just LS6 cam, srngs,intake+ LT's

I want my 99 hawk vert 6spd to do low 12's with just this cam install. Can an LS6 cam and springs put me into the low 12's with a perfect driver,clutch,launching on a nitto, with stock gears?

If so i'm ready to go : )

I've seen people post up to 360rwhp on an otherwise stock engine with simple boltons. I just want to make sure i can go low 12's

I doubt it, that vert is heavy. I dont think even a hard top M6 would make it to low 12's with those mods and stock weight.

guy i know who posts on here every once in a while went 12.30's with a lid, borla bfg's and some skinnies up front in perfect weather with an 02 z28 m6. with lt's and an ls6 cam i think its possible with a good tire and good driver even though the vert is heavy.

As already noted, the convertible is quite heavy. Also, at many tracks you will need a roll bar.

Depends on what your mods are. Hell, I only make 330rwhp and I run 12.30s and the ONLY weight reduction I have is !swaybar, !muffler, and skinnies.

My heavy *** Hawk did 12.3 with LT, B1 cam and LS6 intake. It wasn't a vert, though.
