was just havin a little fun with that one. but on a serious note, if you need tuning done, craig can get you fixed up really well and then you can take it to the dyno. probably save you money that way. better get him while his rates are still cheap though! oh, and sheik, you aint ever goin turbo! lol. you need to get that 97 back together and put some spray on her! she'd be nasty!!!!!!!!!!

hell no...the track sucked. my car is running like crap too...I only ran once because it was running so badly...ended running a 14.1 @ 99mph. so yeah...my car was sucking bad...its in desperate need of some tuning. Craig did alright though. Got a trophy for fastest street car, lol.

I just looked up the info on the Camaro Day thing myself. It's a Camaro5.com sponsored event. Here's the link: http://www.racesgmp.com/schedule-dra...tail.da?id=144

Should be fun. Hopefully my car is running right by then.

Kinda wish you would have ran it stock just to see what it ran. Then you would have an idea of what your gain per dollar was.

yeah me too...it would have been nice to run before i messed it all up with all those mods, lol. I'm thinking low 13's with the mods i have now though. atleast until i get some track experience. like i said, just needs a tune.

I got enough crap to do on my car that will keep me from needing to do any tuning on my car for awhile.

What gear ratio do you have wein? How about you grease? Some autos came with 2.73's and I wouldn't be surprised if the ws6 has 3.42's in it. Look at your door sticker, if you see GU6 you have 3.42's.

Yup. I didn't do as well as I thought, but when I was inspecting the car I hooked up the laptop and noticed my knock counts increasing at idle. I took a look under the hood and noticed some arching on the passenger side. The #2 wire was burned through and was sending an arch to the #4 wire causing the knock. So now I know why I was running so badly.

I saw that nitrous controller before and was considering it too.

I wonder if you could get the GU6 with the auto? I have only seen it in 6 speed cars.
