My 87 Stock 350 Camaro runs 15.1 1/4 mile. I am saving up for a long time now and still am for next spring when I hopefully I can put in my car what I have been saving up to get so here we go. Im still looking for sizes to for camshaft.
Limited Slip with 3:73 gears
New Performance Tires (Dont know yet)
Camshaft (Still looking)
Stealth intake
Tune of coarse.
Full Exhaust
How much faster can I get my car possibly?

Re: How fast can my car possibly be
why a limited slip rear end? You should definately look into a torque converter, it will really wake up your car. With the mods you posted with a 2500-3000 lockup converter along with a good set of heads you will touch high 12's if your lucky

a good set of heads 1000, torque converter 500, camshaft 200-300, new gears 100-300 based on if you have a 10 bolt or 9 bolt, hsr 400-500, tires 300 ish, and don't know if your going to tune it yourself or not, if you have someone custom tune it ( which you should do instead of buying an off the shelf chip) will cost anywhere from 200-500 based on where you go.

Re: How fast can my car possibly be
Stick with the motor. For a mid 13 sec car, I would say the SR is a good idea, rear gears would help, but don't go too crazy, I would stick with 3.42 or so. Grab a set of drag radials, pick up a TQ converter and shift kit, Grab a used catback or something... and definitely grab a cam.
