Default predictions?

ok im going to put this out there and maybe i can get a good guestimation of what i could possibly run.

i have a 92 camaro rs. with the following mods: 90/10 drag struts, 50/50 rear shocks, subframe connectors, lakewood traction action lift bars, strange 12bolt w/ 3.73. im going to be swapping in an ls1/t56 with around 400rwhp(atleast thats what the graph said i would make with the cam i have chosen). im hoping for 12's. whats your guess?

thank you.

If it hooks up I don't see why it won't hit 12s with that. You should do a stalled auto and aim for 11s

Stalled autos are fun too! I actually enjoy my th350 more than I did the t56 that used to be in here, but it's just my preferance

But then again, if you can hook and drive your t56 good, I think you will easily hit your goals. I think the 3rd gens are a bit lighter than 4th gens too

400 rwhp with a good 1.6x to 1.5x 60 foot time and efficient driveline in a 3500 lbs (roughly) car should run easy mid 11s, @ around 117-119 mph and probably faster. My Nova only makes 372 rwhp and runs the times in sig @ 3500 lbs raceweight w/me aboard.
