But for all the people not hating thank you. I know my gto us heavy but I love it. Not saying it traps 118 or is the fastest thing ever but it's been together for four weeks and tuned for three and I'm just having fun with it. I hope to hit twelves with a gear and tire. It ran pretty well bone stock it went 13.5 and trapped 106. The camaro has always been a good runner putting down a 13.1 stock and 12.9 with exhaust.

Oh no problem man it's an eps cam 236/248 .617/.617 on a 110 starts to pull hard at 4200 ish. Wanted a big cam because this is going spray and big heads. The z28s cam is a 234/246 601/607 on a 111 he comes into power at like 34 maybe 38 don't remember exactly.

Stock gears are a 3.46 so they are not "killing you". if you go with 3.90's then you will pick up a couple tenths maybe in the 1/4, but could very well slow down on the street in a roll race: especially if you go with big heads and nitrous like you are saying. Spinning aint winning!

The one op ran should run close to mid 11's with a good driver and even ok driver trap close or least 118. Hell I know plenty that have ran into 11's with less work then one he raced. and trapped 116-118.

But then again, im used to racing junk 03-04 cobras that can't throw 5th at WOT because of ford's amazing engineering.

Im sure the reason the mustang let is out is because he knew he wouldnt pull him in if he threw 5th. First, 5th is probably the hardest gear to shift into quickly, and usually when you shift during a race where the other car is nearing his peak power (the gto was) you know your going to fall back.

I think thats exactly what the 5.0 was thinking. When i raced a vette i was side by side 3rd and 4th but as soon as i shift into 5th he is at his peak hp and i fall back immediatly. Once i get higher in the rpms i stop the pull but ive already fallin behind.

Looks like but he didn't idk why everyone is bitching. My car goes close to 150 in fourth so I would have been okay I think. I don't think he would have kept coming see as he was in his peak power when I wasn't. The gears will help keep my car in the power band more. It is what it is.

Either way good kill. Time for him to mod a little.
. If he would've thrown 5th it would reduce his tq multiplication.
