Chill dude! I didn't give you a hard time! I asked a simple question as to why you don't know what's in the car. All you have said is you think it has nitrous. And people on here aren't jerks to people who carry on intelligent conversations. It has nothing to due with how much you know about cars or don't know, people are making fun of you cuz you ask and say dumb things!

Like this statement here! Perfect example of a dumb thing to say. It's not dangerous when used correctly, and it is in no way a cheap way to win. It's a mod just like any other mod you can put on your car. It's like saying supercharging your car is a cheap way to win. They are both power adders. No one has a problem with people not knowing what they are talking about if they come on here trying to learn, but you are making statements that are way out there and you aren't willing to listen when someone says you are wrong!

9 pages of wasted time and space. Total waste. "My new car" and some pics in the new member section would have been sooooooooooooooo much more intelligent.

See man! That's all we were asking for! You don't know the car well, he didn't say what all was done, you didn't ask, but this is what you can see. Now we can talk to you and ask questions and help you figure out your car! That's what this forum is for. You don't know something, give the info you have, and people will be willing to help you! To me it seems like the guy had the car tuned, was running nitrous, and if it had been me would have had longtubes and a cam in it. There's no indication so far that he did LTs and a cam, so I would say you're riding on a tune. That could give you 320 to 330rwhp, and if you did spray you'd break 400whp.

By the way, your car looks good. Get an SLP grill, some inserts for the CAMARO on the berger panel, and some darker tint and your car will look sweet.

looks like a stock muffler on your car though. That's one of the first things that gets replaced. and 315's don't fit on 9 or 9.5 inch rims (stock rims).

Don't get 315s unless your wheels are 17/11s

What width fits each rim:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/120716-wheels-tires-everything-you-should-need-know-here-must-read.html

Will 315's fit a stock, or 9" or 9.5" wide rim:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/412515-315-35r17-s-do-not-fit-9-9-5-wheels.html


Oh, and to answer you, you already have the widest safe width on your rim at 275.

Im dynoing it tonight so ill give u the specs. And if it ends up putting out 325 than im a complete dumbass and will forgive everyone for all the bs i said lol but if it puts out wut i think it will put out than i will celebrate!!!
Maybe my math is off, but 4 car lengths comes about to about .2-.3 seconds for me. 13.0-13.1 is NOT a 380 RWHP car! There are stock Z28s running faster than that. You have no freak.

you are wrong my brotha!

the only 315 tire that will fit on a 9.5 wheel is the nitto drag radial... cuz there narrower than other 315 tires.... i have seen it done... and the car was daily driven and beat on aswell...

Obviously he doesnt understand the TECH part of LS1TECH. That is one thing that I noticed with this site over the past year or so. Is that since LS1 cars are more affordable for younger kids we have gotten alot more ricers here that think they know it all and that their car is the **** b/c they just got out of a 120HP civic. This is a technical forum not a "OMG my car has 400 HP to the wheels and I dont even know whats dont to it so it must be magic, and my car beat a civic and that same civic beat a 03 cobra and that cobra beat a 06Z06 so that means I can beat a LS7 C6Z06" Give us all a break, come back when you grow up and get outa high school... RANT OFF

TECHNICALLY a 315 tire WILL fit on a 9.5 rim but it is NOT RECOMMENDED BY ANYONE

sure it can be done. sure it may hold up a while. (I had 275 nitto nt555's on a 7 inch stock GN rim) But is it within the manufacturer's specs? if it isn't, then it isn't really that safe. I wouldn't recommend it.

Unless they are 315 Nitto DR's. That tire is more like a 295 and it
will fit perfectly fine on a 9" wheel. However, some nay-sayers
here don't like when you post that.
