I took my 99 camaro to the Texas Mile last weekend and ran 150 mph. I have headers and a 2011 LS6 intake. I also have 3.73 or 4.10 gears. Anybody know how I can hit 160 next time?

From what I saw you could get more mph from shifting quicker and at the right rpm. 1st gear you're shifting way early. Your other shifts seem ok other than being a little slow. Not putting down your shifting just answering your question.

Like it was mentioned, stock 3:42 gearing will get you there easy.
Other possible ways would be to run a taller tire. Or start adding more power and bumping up the rev limiter.
