It deff works good on the bottle. I think if i went to a 3.73 gear it would be perfect with the 28's on the kit. Im right at 54-5500 through the traps right now.
Its time to see some new times out of your car Lol

You should be in the 11.5x range with your setup or faster i would think. The weather here sucks big time...the DA last Saturday was something like +4100
Im hoping it works better then the 3.42's. I just hope it doesn't hit the rev limiter with the gear swap seens how its still on a stock tune.

you do know that with nitrous the DA basically goes out the window right?
No, it doesnt. If your car is sucking in less dense air and equivalently making 20 (random number) less horsepower on motor you are making less power period. A 150 shot is a 150 shot because the flow / amount of nitrous and fuel is constant regardless of exterior conditions. Nitrous is basically its own controlled environment. Look up times on NHRA pro mod cars. They all run slower at higher altitudes. You can only do so much with a tune up and those cars have thousands of variables to change depending on the atmosphere, track conditions, etc...

well the car isnt going to be a all out drag car anymore. Driving it around town without any interior, no p/s and no safety **** sucks. So I decided to put it back together and make it more of a street car then a race car again.
i would throw the carpet and plastic back in and get a manual rack so your not putting much weight back in

I love the build. When i go to the base in San Diego im going to try and get a daily so I can gut the camaro out similar to yours little by little. I dont necessarily want to be at 2860 because Id rather be driving the car than cutting on it. So 3150 would be nice for me.
I <3 this thread. Hopefully going to be doing the same thing to a 96 Z at the beginning of the year. Same setup too, the car was a 6 speed car originally and it's going to get a TH350.
That's booking for what you got man. Is the motor still stock??? Just wondering because the Z is going to get a CC306 with a forged bottom end and home ported heads/intake. Hopefully with that and a 200 shot I can get a 10.60 out of it.
