Long time member/partially converted to the darkside

Hey guys,

I've been on this site for quite some time, but have never owned an F-body.......Until now. LOL. I don't know if you guys remember slpowerz's car,


but guess who is to be the new owner. That's right. ME.

It's a 6 speed car....pretty stock only mods are;
Stainless Works ORY
dual Magnaflow converters
SLP LM catback
TB bypass
K&N cold air intake
Jet stage one chip
Granatelli MAF and fuel pump

I have a zex dry kit on it's way that i'm going to jet for a 75 shot. Put some drag radials on it and have some fun. It will be my track ho. LOL
Gets parked next to my stangs


Any Idea what to expect of this car with the above mods and a little spray?
Also thinking of doing a cam on the car as well.....
Thoughts, questions, concerns....HAHA

Thanks in advance guys,

Lenny

330-350rwhp with a wet shot, 350-360 dry shot. As per times, it depends on your nitrous kit, and you as a driver. Probally mid-low 13's.

If this car makes 350whp....It should run mid 12s without a problem. Are we talking just the shot, or the shot and cam?

With that white cobra in my sig I went 13.10 at 106 and that car only dynoed 289/286 N/A

Just the shot with existing mods.

Keep in mind with the camaro that all you're going to have on it is dragslicks, no suspension modifications at all (sfc's, lca relocation, tubular tunnel brace, etc, etc, are needed, you know the drill). You're going to spin like hell, especially if you dont have a progressive nitrous controller. Hence why I said mid to low 13's.

how do the rear ends hold up on these cars??? Thinking of just throwing a set of 4.10s in it and hoping it holds, but what kind of limitations do they have when pushed??

the rear end holds up fine for a mild build up on the motor, I would upgrade it when your going past 400whp.

Its tough to answer that question, because i've put in 4.10's for one guy and he tears up the rear end in months, and i've put them in others with no issues for years, all with 350+hp.

Personally, i'd just throw some 4.10's in there and see how it does. What have you got to loose? You'd be buying another rear end anyway lol.
