Thanks guys. The fox was never dyno'd but it ran a best of 11.94 @ 115mph at Lebanon valley, the camaro ran a best of 12.1 @ 111mph with the old junk 4l60/converter. Since then i put a built TH-400 and a yank converter in it which made the car noticeably faster.

As far as the weight the fox has a 6 point steel cage, full interior, anti roll bar set up etc etc. The camaro is basically stripped-no ac, abs, radio/speakers, sound deadening, strut bars, wipers, wiper reservoir, back seats, etc etc

Good runs! I would say you and the fox are probably similar in weight. Those cars are pretty light. Looks like you guys would be a dead heat w/o the passenger. But the furd needed more cubes to do that

Honestly i thought i was going to get spanked by the fox, but the camaro surprised me. As for the specific heads cam intake im not sure. I not its a pretty decent size nitrous cam, aluminum heads, and a maybe a high rpm intake?

Start spraying the freaking car already man!

Btw.. the fox has a comp cams solid roller .608/.614 242/248 110 lsa cam. ported vic junior, worked holley 750, and the heads are hogged out performer rpms..

Unfortunately with the added 250lb's from the cage/spool/anti roll/standalone/rear end bracing.. the car is probably only a low 12 car now on motor..

However.. that car was always a nitrous motor.. 12's to 9's in 1 shot

*NSFW Language*

That's Mike's car.. its a tamer version of the blue car.. box stock heads, non ported intake, hydraulic roller cam.. I'll tell ya what though.. for a 12.60@105mph car... it runs 10.50@125-126 consistently on the shot and it isn't setup for nitrous.. the car just plain works as well.

Where's those vids man!

More cubes and losing is GM's motto, bro. You can't just give it away

It was a w for the Camaro with less cubes. Not to mention the tow home.
