Forgive me for being lazy and not doing the math. What size rear tire are you running?

Why aren't you running the Radial slick by Hoosier or Goodyear ? Their proven to be better than the bias tires

I wish I could run them ,but they will not hook a stick car. I have yet to find anyone running them on a stickshift with success.

Sounds like you have successfully switched your car over to another strong set-up. Any vid of your car running in the c/s trim.
Keep us posted on the progress.

I do have some video of that pass ,but do not know how to load them. It really did nothing right on that pass so give me a few weeks when I get back out and I'll try to find someone to help me post the vids.

Correct me if im wrong but i thought you had to run the intake that the car come from the factory with. Or have they changed to rules to allow any lsx factory intake??

I can run the ls6 intake untouched.

If you go to nhra.com and look at stock car classification it tells you everything.

853's are just the casting #for the 99 camaro. They say the 241's are better from the later year camaro's.

for some shakedown runs, simply awesome results! i guess he could have just bought an Al Corda combo and gone racing?


I wonder how much one of those costs???

Maybe you should read the Stock Eliminator section of the NHRA rule book.
