Default What should I run

Last time at the track I ran a 12.97@108 since then I installed a bbk ssi intake and will have a s60 with 4.11s in it with et streets what times should I expect I got only a handful off passes under my belt. Should I be mid 12s or higher lower assuming I can get my 60s down Im shooting for 11s but ima need a cam for that.

If you went from a 10 bolt to an S60, you will actually lose RWHP. So any gains you may experience with the intake will be negated. If you are running in the same air conditions as last time but get a good hard launch, I would expect mid-low 12's.

Went 12.65 last weekend in my 2001 Trans Am, mods are lid, longtubes, catless Y-pipe, borla catback closed off, Ls6 intake factory built 4L60e with a Yank SS 3600 stall,stock 2.73 gears on nitto 555r Drag Radi's.

12.65 with a 1.86 60ft at 108mph. next is cam and spring thinking along the lines of 228/230 588 592 on a 112lsa.

What was your 60'? With the S60 and some DRs I'd think you'd be around 12.7s or slightly better.
