yep, if you're running low 15's mystery mods are definately not an option, now if you say ran 17.1 we'd just give ya the old pat on the back, so, please explain.

See sig... haven't run since adjusting the timing, and removing the smog equip.


Yeah, lets see a list of mods, as I'm calling until you do. Short of a 50 shot of the ol' juice, I don't see low 15s.

no way 15.1...

all my mods and i went 15.9...im maybe a little faster
that that ..(more #lb injectors and some custom prom stuff)

15.1 => "Nitrous" or "Forced induction" or "ur smoking some ****"

Forced induction = impossible...i dont know anyone who has done it on a camaro.

Even nitrous will not shave off 2 seconds by just running a 75 shot
(running higher is definitely a sure way to kill teh engine)


I will have to say this is BS or a serious typo

This is now making more sense as the details are posted.... with the giggle juice and the 3.4 (which I'm not sure if it is a typo or not) I can now somewhat see the time of 16.1 more reasonably...

and is it just a 3.4 block on 2.8/3.1 intake or did you swap the entire engine?
SFI/ MPFI??

I would be more than happy to get a 15.999 so I can say I run 15s. I think 16.1 is still a good time. I probably estimated my 1/4 at 17.2
