New LS1 Owners - Newbie Tech - 7.6-7.9 1/8 times how to

i have a 2000 camaro ss m6 bone stock i want it to run a 7.6-7.9 at 92-100 mph what mods will i have to do to get my car to do that time. this is my daily driver so it has to be drivable and still get the same mpg its getting right now any help will be greatly appreciated.

mods in sig, minus nitrous ran a 7.7, on BFG drag radials with a 1.7 60 ft. ran 7.3 at 96.7 mph on a 100 shot

Those times are roughly a mid~low 12-second 1/4 mi. pass in an M6. A decent cam (plus supporting bolt-ons of course) and some sticky tires will be enough to get you there assuming you can drive. Only problem is, an M6 might strain the drivetrain enough to snap a gear in the rear. So, when I say supporting mods...it can really rack up the $$$ if you want to do it right/safe. Also, suspension shouldn't be neglected. Just my $0.02.

cam,headers,boltons, 4.10's, M/T ET street radial :) and then yo will need a clutch

i am there if i launch currently running 8.1's no problem check my setup mod list on page 7 in my sig

If it has to get the same mileage, are you wiling to live with a more drag oriented suspension? The right shocks, springs, stiffer control arms and subframe connectors will work wonders for traction, along with better tires. The problem is a slick works best, but not with your stock rear. I'd say at least a 12-bolt, if not a 9-inch, either with 4.10's and a good limited slip for streetable traction.

Those mods should get you about halfway there. From there, add a lid, headers, and a cut-out. See how close you get without a tune. Depending on your DA at the track, that might do the trick without cracking a valve cover. Tuning would help a bit, but I saved that for last in case you needed a cam to make the extra power to get you there.

If you don't want the drag springs and shocks though, you're gonna need a cam at least.

im planing on doing heads cam and some headers and a 12bolt but i dont know what combo heads and cam yould be best for me i need stock mpg and good daily drivability.

just spray on it if you want to retain mileage. do 12 bolt, all bolt-ons + good n2o tune, spray a 175 shot on it and call it a day.

Minimum mods and fun on the street, get heads with 11 to 1 compression and thunder's racing cheater cam and you want have to buy any headers. This will be a fast street and respectable track car and sound stock. Of course, get decent tires and lightweight wheels for the track. Cheers.

X2...I've seen airlid only cars run high 7.5's low 7.6's on a 150 shot and ET Streets. I persoanlly ran the 7.5 w/ a 224/228 cam and all the bolt-ons @ 92 mph. Did this w/ 2.73's also. Take your pick, the gas will be cheaper though.

how bad does the gas milage get with heads and a cam thanks

I went 7.82 @ 89 at over 3500 ft DA with the mods in my sig with ALOT of stock parts and getting 18 in town and 25+ highway mpg driving daily.

Generally your gas mileage is about the same as before the head and mild cam. Sometimes the mileage is better when tuned properly.

Then youll need a big fat 9inch in the back :jest:

100mph trap speeds in the 1/8th usually mean about 128-130mph traps
in the 1/4. That's mph for 10's. It's going to take you a lot of mods to get there
and it's going to cost you many thousands of dollars to do it.

just some nitrous will get you there.. and ofcourse sticky tires. these cars run 8.6-9.0 stock. nitrous wont hurt the mpg and you can just have that extra power whenever you want it. but with an m6 you need to def. get a window switch.. make sure to get a wet shot..

my gas is same as stock and im at 400whp with a m6 :)

heh...My friend ran a 8.1 in a 01 Z28..only mods 4k stall and slicks. Hell im pulling 8.5s with a 2.xx 60, with stickier rubber i know i could nail low ass 8s, and with gears prolly 7s. It shouldnt be to hard to get there with bolt ons if you can beat that 6spd like a bitch

My car ran 8.40s and 12.9s lid only. After some bolt-ons, exhaust, ported tb, 4.10s, it ran 7.90s@89 mph and 12.30s@113mph. This was with mid 1.8 60fts.
