I have a 94 Z28 with a erbuilt motor...LT4 hot cam kit with the roller rockers and valve springs...ported heads...mid length headers, flowmaster exhaust, dyno tuned, and the car has been lowered. My buddy says i wont get anywhere near 12's and i say that i will get into high 12's..so we have a 50 dollar bet now...who do u think will win?

if dyno tuned what's the power your putting out? I think your going to be just off the 12's

its possible if you hook up really good

I would say high 12 or low 13 depending on suspension it makes a BIG difference.

Hope that your car hooks and go ***** out

dont race with ANYTHING except drag radials on the back, and is it auto or stick? and if auto is it stalled? either way thats good for a mid 12 or so depending of coarse on all the factors.

i ran it tonight and my best run was a 13.40 or 41 i cant remember and the slip is in the car. it puts 325 to the rear wheels. i have lowered the car and that is all the suspension that i have done to it. i hooked really good tonight it never spun once. it is an auto with stock stall, and that is my next investment any suggestions on a stall?

3200 stall and a shiftkit with a trans cooler. what was your trap speed and also your 60' those will aid alot in telling how fast you could go. my car does 14.2 at 101 tho, so i need to launch better, ill bet your trap was up around 103 or so at least.

Just because it didn't spin doesn't mean you are getting a good launch- if you post your 60' and MPH like Matt said it will help a lot in reassuring you that your car has a 12 run in it.

A perfect driver with a properly set-up car can get 12's with relatively low power. CHP took a bone-stock Z to almost flat 13's without lifting a valve cover.

Stall, shiftkit MAYBE- it would be better actually to get your shift points adjusted to your torque and horse numbers than just slappin in a shift kit, you'll just burn up a good trans. Set-up some 3.23's or 3.42's and it will help a lot as well.

As for suspension, a lowered car is terrible for the track. The springs don't allow for the proper weight transfer when you are trying to get horsepower to the ground. Swap them out for a set of drag springs, lose the front sway bar and you will see a huge improvement in your 60' time, assuming you have the tires to stick-
