Nice runs, that's a strong LS for sure. Otherwise known as "average at best" in these here parts.

+1. Curious about the trap speed more than the ET for those mods.
Good runs though and strong Camaro!

Some of these guys kill me. They could see 100 LS cars do this and still feel it's one in a million. I believe it's better than avg but not at all uncommon.

The 5.0 does not have bama. I'll get back with you on which tuner it was.

There was a 5.0 auto with a bama tune and intake and radials that was there.... only did 12.9 @ 109 mph.

328 whp/355 lb-ft for the camaro.

Friend did the same in his y pipe only 6 speed SS and 12.7 @ 113 mph. Seems normal to me?

What are exact mods on that Camaro? My best mph with bolt ons was 114 mph at Cecil and my car is light. Seems very fishy to me

I am an auto though so mph always low. I had mistakes and had more bolt ons though. Hope when you are done with it it can hit 125. Then I too will get flamed lol

Seeing is one thing but when you have owned one in the past and know what the car can and can't do with certain bolt-ons, it is more than conjecture. The ET I can understand but the trap is on high side IMO. Giving 4pointslow the benefit of the doubt though, he could be a good driver and/or the DA he was running in could have been low. Either way he is running a damn good trap for his bolt-ons listed...then again I have been known to be wrong in the past about these things.

For you guys wondering about his trap.....this is just a hunch....but it could be that his converter locks in drive and all done in his tune...
I could be wrong though

If it were my auto I would lock that bitch in 2nd unlock shift to drive and then lock again.

My M6 car went 112.70 with lid, ORY, and 4.10s at 1000' DA. Seems reasonable to me.
