give us some specs on your performance mods. I'm assumng a big shot of nitrous, super charger, or turbo. You won't get there NA with 215 heads unless you drop a few hundred more pounds.

I think the A3 will be the biggest improvement for the track.

12.0's to teh 9's is gonna be ALOT more power.

If NA, those 215's are not gonna cut it, unless (as mentioned) you lose alot more weight, or you pulled motor, and added cubes, compression, cam, etc...and lost some weight.
Gonna spray it? Suspension? I mean, if you spun on a 12.0 car, your gonna have fun trying to hook a 9 sec player up.

Hitting the 9's NA is going to take more than a stock motor with heads and cam. Sounds like you have a good start though.


I just installed a HKE 408 with TEA ported 235 Trick flow heads and on a 150 shot I went a 6.62 in the 1/8. I'm a stalled Auto with a moser 12 bolt and it made 478 to the wheels NA. I'm going to do a gear swap from the 456 to 373 so I should pick up a little.

this is a full weight 99 Camaro on pump gas.
