'82 Camaro with an L98 from an '89 F-Body, stock internals, headers into a single muffler, dyno'ed at 248whp/343wtq, 3.73 gears, Torsen T2R, 10-bolt rear, T10 transmission, street tires, car weighs around 3150 with a full tank of gas (autocrossing this weekend and usually run with a full tank, hoping to burn some off before heading to the drag strip next Friday).

This is a contest I'm doing for customers in my business (Matco Tools distributor). Currently have guesses between 13.4 and 16.3 .

My old 305 TPI Firebird that dyno'ed at 209/275 to the wheels and weighing 3333 pounds did a 14.46@95.66 on street tires.

My guess is 13.65 @ 102.

I've talked to Tony a few times. He's had a couple, um, "customer matches" in my area.

That's a loaded question, it really depends on the driver. My 87 Formula 350 ran a 13.5 @ 100 with an exhaust and cold air and about 5-600# more, I wouldn't be surprised if I could knock off a 12.99@106 with your lighter car with slightly more HP and a better transmission, gears...

I don't think you're going to Capitol anymore this friday. It is now closed....

Out of curiosity is it closed for good? My local track is threatening to close for good as well, pretty depressing to think about.

I had "new" Kumho Ecsta ASTs mounted. First run with the tires at 25 psi, totally roasted the tires off the line launching around 2K, 2.33 60' time and got a 14.50@99.88. Next run, lowered the pressures to 20 psi, launched at idle and didn't spin the tires but missed 2nd -- 14.61. My third run, got a good launch, didn't miss any gears and got a 13.70@100.80 with a 2.06 60-foot time. Next run was a 13.60@101.32 with a 2.05 60-foot time. And my final run was the 13.56@101.07 with a 1.98 60-foot time. On my last run, I put the front Koni SA's at full soft (rears were already at full soft) and launched around 1,500 rpm.

The timeslip:

RT: 0.084
60': 1.989
330': 5.610
660': 8.678
MPH: 80.47
1/4: 13.568
MPH: 101.07

Nice man, that's what it is all about. Is getting you and the car dialed in to get them times down. That is what it is all about. I fricken love it.

13.56 is a great time.Not too far off from my 13.8 estimate.

Uploaded my fastest run to Youtube:

Somehow, um, deleted the mis-shift and roasting tires off the line runs, though.
