In the Middle
I live about 12 min away from Downtown St. Louis (in Illinois) and was wondering if there was some sort of F-body club meeting anywhere close.
Thanks
Kyle

Q1:
With all of the mods in my sig (with 3.23 gears) and a monster stereo in the back (4 amps, 2 subs, couple of crossovers, etc.) weighing me down I was able to run a 14.4 at 95mph. I experienced wheelhop to the degree that I had to launch just off idle. With the 3.73's my car does not hook at all.
Once I get some suspension upgrades from Spohn and a stall converter, I expect 13's to be easily within my reach (epecially if I use slicks instead of those crappy Yokohama Mowhawks).
If you use a 150 horse shot, and if you can hook it all up, I would expect mid 12's from your ride.
I once considered using Nos in my car, but I decided to take a break from speed parts and am using my money to upgrade my car's appearance. I will post pics of my car (stock) soon. Hope I was helpful.
Later
Kyle
