I got a new pb.
99 Camaro
H/C 430hp/400tq 4.10 gear 26x10.5x16 ET Streets

1.56 60' 7.22 96mph

I want to get 6's without adding any power

Stock front shocks, sway bar removed, Strano springs

Tunnel Mount adj TA, subframe connectors, adj lower control arms, adj panhard, Koni non adjustable shocks, Strano springs, stock sway bar

I am goin to try a 28X11.5 tire on a 15" rim, and maybe adj drag shocks, maybe a drag sway bar. I wanna get a 6.9x M6 before I go 80e

Any other suggestions? I want a damn 6 sec pass

Here is an average pass from that day

That's alot of tire for your hp.
Those et streets are typically good for low 1.4x in a setup like yours.
That may get you close. I'd work on the launch. If you go 15" I would run a 26x 8.5 or 26x 10 Hoosier.

26x10.5x15 bias ply.

How old are the tires? Looks like you spun some off the line

What's your weight?

So if you:
Get launch into the mid -low 1.4x's
Take out some weight (ie.50lbs)
Run in good air
Maybe free up 20 hp
you'll have a decent chance at it.

I think you would need 4.56 gears, otherwise 28-inch tires would hurt your ET. Would also need to spin motor above 7000 rpm.

Yea I have been worried about 28s and not having enough gear for them. My tires now are pretty worn out lol Ive been using them for about 5 years. Ive tried 28X10.5X16s before, bias ply ET, and it slowed it down big time in the 60' but it was bolt ons then with only 340ish whp/tq. Im thinking a 26x11.5x15 slick... The car is full weight pretty much also, I have removed a few things like spare tire stuff, sway bar, AC/AIR/EGR, and the back seat. I do have a S60 though so some of that weight has been put back.

My ideas are obviously new tires on a 15" wheel. Im also looking at getting 1 7/8 headers and doing a x pipe and dumps, my current setup is 1 3/4 lts with 3" y and 3" cutout. Will that make a noticeable difference? I also want to upgrade rear shocks to a decent adjustable set. I need suggestions on those because Im new to adjustable shocks/struts/coilovers

My car had the same shocks/springs and right around the same power. Ran 6.9x. Those 28's are going to slow you down. If you want to get a better 60ft you'll need to change you shocks and springs. I did a best of 1.52 on that set up with 275/40/17 hoosier drag radials. but It would do mid to high 1.5s on average. A little better 60ft and great weather will put you really close to the 6s

Which shocks/springs are you referring to? Is your car M6 Im assuming?

Vikings is what everyone seems to be running but me personally use strange on my setups. If your planning on adding that exhaust every little bit helps but suspension can also get you that 60' down enough you may not need them. Also getting some more weight out of the car will definitely help. I would start off with some shocks and lca relocation brackets. But i see your up in WV. If your putting it away and this is going to be winter project and you don't really wanna add anymore power. Suspension and weight would be my primary focus. Light weight suspension stuff, tubular bumper supports, New shocks and springs, and try to lighten up your drivetrain to free up some hp

Gary Z

New exhaust won't help much (if any) because your current exhaust is quite good. Shocks/suspension with a lot of experimentation may improve your 60' but a tenth or so off your 60' is not going to get you into the 6s. My opinion is that 7.22 is not so close to 6.9x. Big tires and gears optimized for the eighth might get you there. The easy solution is a little nitrous oxide.

I'm referring to the koni/stano setup. Yes my car is an m6. I agree with Gary. 7.22 isn't THAT close to 6.9s. I think you'll need to pull some weight and hope for great weather to run in the 6s. Its possible to do though.

WVhuggerSS

If you want to run that id try some weight reduction and a new set of tires. I wouldn't mess with the exhaust id save that money for a nitrous kit Zack. But if you want to spend some money on suspension then id look into the Vikings, I love the quality of mine and there really easy to adjust. I like my drag swaybar too. Come out if you want and you can look over my stuff before you buy.

I'm still going to do 80e and nitrous. First in wanna get a 6.9x with a NA M6 before I change it all

WVhuggerSS

Id say you can can get there with some good air, a little weight reduction and some new tires. Your cars always been impressive.

NEW tires will get you there! You spun bad out of hole. Im a M6 car putting down about the same numbers. Strange singles upfront, stock rear shocks, 26x10x15S ET Drags at 13psi. Consistent low 1.5 to hi 1.4 60 foot times. Several slips with 6.9x 1/8 mile times. 6 speeds like the Stiffwall et drags!

That's promising to hear. I just need to decide on shocks now. Where can you get vikings?

Midwest Chassis has package deals on Vikings I believe

WVhuggerSS

I got mine from umi on sale a little after they come out. Id juss shop around and see who's cheapest. I have 350lb spring for the front of mine for the record.
