Raced a 07 SS Monte Carlo Tonight
A little disappointed. Raced him from a stop, Only pulled about a car on him to 80mph. Spun the tires alot in first and about half way through second. I really need to do something about that. Still a kill.

What shape is your suspension in? My traction improved quite a bit after I freshened up the suspension.

Nitrous, only paid $400 for my NOS kit off ebay brand new. It's $565 through Jegs. Thats a extra 100-150 hp depending on what jets you use. If your not comfortable with that I would start with some headers and a good cat-back exhaust. Then some different intake runners and base.

Re: Raced a 07 SS Monte Carlo Tonight
when i bought the car it had headers on it (not sure what kind) and has a 2.5 inch exhaust but i think he just used the stock cat-back. i want performance and great sound so pretty sure im gonna put some glasspacks on there to. i know most people say dont make it look good if it wont run good but making it look good is a LOT cheaper lol.
