I have a 99 SS camaro, 3.73 gears in a factory rearend.
All completely untouched stock suspension. The vacuum
pump and hoses have been removed. Long tube headers
home made off road y-pipe dumping into factory exhaust.
SLP lid, Typhoon 85mm intake and throttle body, home
made smooth bellow. Stock 350th trans with an ATI 4000
nitrous converter. Wet nitrous kit with NX shark nozzle
tapped into bellow. 275 M/T drag radials. Last nite at the
track it went a 7.20@94mph in the 1/8. Do you guys think
this is about right, subpar, or a good et for the mods.

I think it's pretty close to par. I went 7.15 a couple weeks ago with a 125 pill in a dry kit.

What exactly were you expecting? There is plenty of knowledge on this site, but your thread topic of choice (opinions) might be limiting some to not looking at the thread.

seems like a fair outcome.

i would be disappointed with anything slower than 7.0 out of that setup, but i ask way too much from stock parts. my bolt-on car went 7.6s @ 88ish...but i had a 4l60 and only a lid, ls6 intake, and pacesetters as engine mods.
