Need help

I have a 2001 camaro SS with a moderate sized cam, exhaust, headers, 305 MT DR's, automatic trans with a 125hp shot of nitrous.....my E.Ts seem kinda slow for my setup, what times should I be running? I am in CA.

As far as gas goes I am using 91 pump gas

What cam, gears? Also, what converter (if any) do you have? Not knowing that, I would still think you should be running faster than that on a 125 shot..

Not sure exactly on the cam, stock gears and converter I bought the car used with the cam already in it. What times should I be running?

Depending on what cam you are running and what the DA was, I would see you being able to hit those numbers WITHOUT nitrous.

my T/A with A4 completly stock with a 100 shot ran 12.flat on street tires. So i would say you should be in the high tens-very low 11s

sounds like you could use a better tune...

Your slip looks like one for a car not running nitrous.

Are you sure it's spraying? If so your car has a major issue somewhere. You also need a stall pretty bad if the cam is any size at all.

OUCH!! You probably won't get any better times with this set up. I agree with thunderstruck, it doesn't even seem like you are spraying, or something is way off. You might want to take it to a good tuner to make sure everything is good to go. And at LEAST get a converter.
