what will it run???

I'm getting some more mods for my camaro over the off season and was wondering what you guys think it'll be capable of? On top of my mods in my sig I'll be getting: SLP 1 3/4 coated shorties and Y pipe, cat removal for straight pipe, 3 inch cat back with loudmouth resonator with one 3 inch tail, lca relocaters, adjustable torque arm, BFG's and a 2500 stall! This baby should move pretty good after this, talk to me!

Never had it at a track and I don't have the funds right now to do so. I have no traction at all and a run at the track would be useless without BFG's. Until then I'm not going and setting myself up for dissapointment for no reason. When I get these mods done over the off season then I'll go in the spring and see what's up. but would still like guestimates!

well judging by mods in sig you have added weight and about twenty hp. with the gear you should get a high 13 to very low 14
second pass. with the good exhaust and convertor you can probably take a .5 off of that. again this is just a guess

Mid to high 13's. The LT1 will pull pretty hard. Who knows with sticky tires, low 13's Good Luck

yeah with traction, you should be near low 13's. your probly pushing atleast 320hp on crank, and that stall will help your launch. i'm estimated 275hp crank and getting 13.8's with 2.77 gears. you should be deep 13's at 103mph or more

Thanks guys! I'm hoping for deep 13's. I saw a 93 LT1 powered camaro (wich mine is also) on the internet called the grapes of wrath (since it was purple). The goal of the project was to break into the 12's on a stock engine. Although this was never realized the car ran a 13.1. and if my memory serves me correctly the only mods that would differ from my proposed mods was a 2800 stall instead of 2500 and eibach springs. Keeping in mind also that my car weighs 200-300 pounds less than that car. I'm not saying my car will hit 12's, that won't happen I'm sure but I think a low 13 is do-able. My sub frame only weighs 26lbs! Thats why I went with spohn. The wonder bar weighs virtually nothing but the LCA's seem pretty heavy! Thanks boys!!!
