12.768 on drag nittos, catback exhaust, cold air induction and throttle body bi-pass.

Not bad.

Oh yeah, 2001 camaro SS

All together mod's cost me around 6-700 bucks.

Dont forget the 160 t-stat and manual override switch.

Thats it.

I'm doing decent in this area for sure. No 9 sec passes here just a high/mid 10 at best. But i only but when there is DEALS or like a price war going on or used. And i only buy the best bang for the $$ mods Like Mac headders (well now would be pace setter) Local ported heads.... you get the point. I'd say i have around $7k into power mods on my car and that's 12 bolt, Hals(free), Clutch, LS6 intake, headders, x-pipe(free), Heads($800), Cam, LCA, PHR, Torq arm, Nitrous driveshaft, NX wet kit(CHEAP), LS1 Edit, Double roller chain, Oil pump, and all the usual little things lid, FTRA, slicks($150)......

Tim whats the specs on your cam, the best mod by far is a TC for an A4 it will net you more gains for your money than anything ex n20. I havent had my verter installed yet but im planning on running low to mid 12s with it and some tires.

Fast enough for me to say, "Wow, I didn't know you could go that fast for that little."
