Default Gears , Lt's and tune.

i would like to be hitting low 12's with my 99 z28, im thinking lt's an ORY tune and maybe a set of 3:90 gears weill get me into low 12's and hopefully high 11's, any suggestions?

Add a ls6 intake and some sticky tires to your list and you should have 12's all day.

I think you will def. need a sticky tire in order to get into the mid 12s with that setup...just be gentle on the 10 bolt. There are guys with full bolt-ons with a cam and 4.10 gears running on street tires that have got down to 12.5s with an M6.

if i just get 410s, you think ill be running 12's, on youtube i seen a stock camaro ss run a 12.69 with Dr's, so im thinking stock with 410's would be hitting 12's pretty easily..

I believe that was an slp optioned SS and it was also a 2002 model which have more hp than the 98-2000's.

Just a question.. Have you run your car in its stock form now yet? You seem to talk in a way that says you haven't actually run yours yet, just seen what others are running. If that's true then I suggest running yours first and seeing what you get before you go thinking you can break 11's with just headers and a intake lol..

well seeing a stock camaro run a 12.69, seems like a intake and lt's should be able to hit 11's, thats the way i saw it but im no expert.

mods in sig on street tires I went 12.9 @ 110 with a 2.0 60'. Get sticky tires or you won't be seeing low 12s.

I'd say with the mods you listed and if you can drive with a decent launch on dr's you may see 12.4's.

you really need to take a trip to the track before you can really say what your car can run. just grab some sticky tires and id guess your running mid to high 12s with that.

3:90's are a better choice than the 4:10's in my personal opinion. DR's, 3:90's, LT's, ORY, and tune you should easily see high 12's. Intake would help a bunch also but we all know that costs money! It also depends how you are shifting down the track too.

I think you'd be hitting high 12's to low 13's with the mods and DR's plus good driving

Weight is a big factor on cars with bolt-ons running 11s. You will need to do some serious weight reduction to your car to make it run 11s with bolt-ons, unless you are an expert driver.

just LTs, gears and DRs then i would say 12s are possible. the ls6 intake really makes a difference on the 98-99 cars so u might check nto that as well?

practice your launches, get your 60' down and row them gears and i dont see why 12s arent possible

My car has gone 13.1 with gears, lid, catback and a decent tune before on **** tires, so 12's are VERY easy to accomplish. BTW, mines an auto with 3.73 gears.

If you put 4.10's in your m6 and have a stock rearend you most likley break it, longtubes exhaust intake and a great tune and DR's and you could easily see 12.8
