Hello, i just purchased a 97 Z28 6sp., its had a few things done to it over the years, cat exaust, K&N air system, suspension work, its been well maintained, what kind of times should i exspect at the track? I'm new to these cars, so i'll be asking a few Qs now & then on performance upgrades, i do have a small nitrous kit i would like to install down the road.Thanks:smokin2:

figure 13.8-14.2 sec

depending on car condition, traction and driver

I was going to say 13.3 to 13.6 on a good day in my honest opinion on a great day. They are normally high 13 second cars, but it still depends on the driver like teke184 says.
Buddy of mine sprays a 75 shot into a A4 94 Formula with slicks and it ran mid-high 12 with a Loudmouth only on it.

I would guess a 14.0 depending on elevation and driving.

Unless you got a freak =)

Thanks, i was thinking mid-high 13s, i guess theres only one way to find out, what all will i need to install this carbed plate 125 system i have onto this car, its a basic 125 powershot?

1. For the times 14 flat is a round about unless that suspension work you talk of is the car being lowered. If lowered try 14.2-14.7 fighting to keep the tires biting due to bad LCA(lower control arm) angles which can be fixed.

2. Your nitrous question would be much better off in the LT1-LT4 section.
