How is it going folks. It's been a wail but I'm back. Would like to post my project 1998 Camaro SS. Quick run down, MS3 cam with 02 top end includes ls6 intake, th400 trans, Nitrous outlet plate kit and basic suspension mods. Hoping to break into the 10's with a 100shot and circle D nitrous converter. Gears are 3.90 on a Mickey Thompson 295/55/15. Any advise besides the mods I posted to help me get into the 10's I would greatly appreciate it.
Nitrous kit not installed yet

I see no reason that you couldn't get into the 10's with your current setup
Thanks. Car is still close to full weight. I won't know til I weigh it. It's a bit tuff to get into those low et cause my local track has bad track prep. (Sac raceway)
Sure will. I will be posting my converter as soon as it comes in and a few other pictures. Motor is coming back out to finish up a few minor engine bay touch ups as well as the converter & nitrous install.
Motor is out. Going to clean up a few things. Also going to be installing new struts and shocks with new strut mounts. Would like a k member but a little tight on money. Il keep you guys posted.
Quaick update. Finally got around to washing the car. Still waiting on my driveshaft and off to get tune. Unsure what shot to start off with. Going talk to the tuner and what he suggests
Quick update. Went to my local drive line shop and got my drive line made. Big thanks to Steve over at Southbay Driveline. Got sponsored I was surprised. He spec me a 3.5 drive shaft rated 1000tq. Still need few more parts and off to get tune.
I don't see a problem with you going at least mid 10's. My cam is similar to yours and just on motor I made a 11.1 pass at Sac raceway this past wednesday. Prep is key though, I was slip and sliding when I tried to use the nitrous.
Do you have 15x8 or 15x10 rear rim? I like that tire size. Keep us posted!!
hows it going. Sorry for late reply iv been busy with the family. Car is about done. Winter here so won't be out till February. Il be sac test and tuning. Il post a few more pictures of the recent mods done since then.

Nice man. im running 15x10 rears. think i saw your car on a post MAXLIMIT posted on instagram.Your car is moving, just needs a anitroll bar aka drag sway bar.
Finally came across this used Moser 9inch rearend. Should fix my worries about breaking at the track. Pretty excited it's been four years in the making. Stay tune for more.
