Default What should I be running?

I have a 2000 Camaro Z28, fully loaded, A4, 2.73 gears. My current mods are: SLP loudmouth, SLP intake w/ K&N filter. What should I be running now?

What should I be running if I decide to get a Vig 3200?

Also what other little mods can I do to gain anything that would even be worth doing.

My '00 ran a NA best of 13.0 @ 107mph with only a Hooker catback and a lid. I do have 3.23's however. The 2.73's will hurt you. I'm not sure how much. I think 13.2's with a 1.9x-2.0x 60' is possible.

Anyone else with numbers? These seem low #'s compared to others I've read with the same mods?

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> , I think that the car would be running 12.5 with the converter setup. I rarely see 3.23 cut that much time over 2.73's.

Oh geez, sorry there MadIce. I didn't see the part about the converter. You'll need a set of DR's for sure or traction is out the window. I would think 12.5-12.6 with a good 60'.

I think you should do the TB bump stop mod if you haven't done so already. At least check out the TB blade at WOT. That mod helped me get from 13.3 to 13.1 when I was N/A. Not saying this mod was fully responsible, but that was the only mod done between the 13.3 and the 13.1 run. It's common knowledge that our LS1's need better airflow.
