we had a customer car had a full weight camaro besides pro-stars, stock ported heads, fast 90mm, SI5 cam, stock 3.23 rear end, SS4000 and a 175 wet shot.

10.6... forget the mph.

i had my car on a 100 wet shot w/ an SS4000, and it worked great.

i've bumped it down to a ss3600 since then.

When I talked to Dave at Yank last summer I was told a my SS converter would be good up to a 200 shot with my combo.

On my friends car we sprayed a 150 shot on a PT4000 and it went 10.9x with a 1.39 60ft. It took it with no problem and this was a bolt on car with stock heads & cam.

Thats pretty much the same setup my buddy had. It was stock suspension with a Eibach pro-kit. It was fully bolt on minus an LS6 intake still had the stock LS1 one.

So a 125-150 shot should do pretty good. Right now Im running 12.0s spinning, I need tires bad! Think low 11s, high 10s is possible?

High 10s easy.

I got mid 11s with bolt-ons and a 65 shot...so if you got twice as much nitrous plus a cam.. you can do it!



But what 60ft times are you running? I have BFG DRs also...and get consistent low 1.7x on motor... low 1.6x on the nitrous..... holding the gas at about 1800 then flooring it when the light drops.

Best I have with the cam is 1.65 not hooking. I use to cut better 60's before I put the cam in. Car should be good for 1180s, 1190s on motor.

SS4000 work well both NA and with spray and we have used them many times

I have this is my fathers 01 Z/28 H/C 90/90 3.42/12 bolt and 175 shot. We have been a best of 10.52 @ 126 ( ran out of spray ). We are having issues hooking the car at the moment, but have been a best of 131.9 mph. The car is full weight except for front sway bar and welds. T-tops. leather, etc

best 60's

1.56 NA
1.48 n20 ( spinning ) no luck with 275/60's so far

We run this converter in my brothers LS1 H/C 90/90 80 Malibu. The car so far has went 11.12 NA and 10.2 (150 shot ) and hope to get it into the 9's soon.

I also just ordered one for my new LT1 combo after speaking with Dave this past week.

That was my car that BADBOYZ28 was talking about. It was a full weight/full interior bolt on car minus the Ls6 intake with a 150 shot, and it ran a 10.98 at 123 mph with a 1.39 60". I loved it. I should have put a small nitrous cam and ran it with that. I bet it could have gone about 3-5 tenths faster with the cam.

I am spraying a heads cam 99 camaro with a 150 shot, Last year I trapped at 126 with a performabuilt 3800 stall with a 1.69 str. This year with a 4000 ss I have lost 2 mph on top and am having trouble hooking it out of the hole. I believe I can best my 1.49 60 ft. from last year if I can hook it but I think my trap speed will be lower. I wish I would have gone with the ss3600.
