You're about right. You're relatively bone stock with an 85 shot. Hmm...if you're lucky you'll near 14.1, but I'll venture to say 14.4 or so. Let me know if I'm right. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

i dont know you can blow the engine up stall and end up doing a minute 37 sec limping across the line, or a chicken can run out and you hit it and run 17's, or the wicky wicky man can make you run 12's, you never know RUN AND FIND OUT!!!

christopher, and others like him... listen, the person was simply asking for estimates. Is there anything wrong with that? We ALL know that anything can happen, but is wondering so bad? I know for one that I will be doing the same thing because, as of right now, I cannot go to the track. Parents are paying for college, so my choice is either college or the drag strip. So, to you christopher, if you have a problem estimating, then go away and don't. Maybe try to copy what 99Camaro99 does, he doesn't come off so poorly.

Hey, orange bird, depending on how good your shifting and stick off the line is, I would wager 14.2, give or take a little. 14.4 if things don't go as well.

Hey Justin have you tried Rockey Mountain Raceway in Utah yet? Cuase when you do your gonna love it. You'll be running a high 16 and be like WTF. It sucks so bad out here.

I would guess mid 14. When I ran my camaro with Intake and exhaust plus a 75 shot I ran a corrected ET of 14.1.

well *** it was a joke so dont start flaming right away, good god can nobody on this board take a joke anymore, its ridiclous how nit picky some people get. estimating times for a race is stupid because so many things can happen. if it is your first run youll probably suck, no offence inteded but first runs are hard for someone with no experience, im not saying 01orangebird is a beginner but im saying why tell people what they should run with certain mods, cars are built differently, not every camaro is built 100% like the other one and people just get their hopes up and or expect certain times, then when not getting those times they tell people i should have ran this time but this happened and come off as idiots. just my .02 cents AND FREAKIN TAKE A JOKE!

also my buddy seal who was banned from this forum ran his camaro with a 75 shot and just about the same mods as me and ran a 14.03@98 before blowing the motor...damn solenoid got stuck open.

:D Looks like somebody got a little hot under the collar. Oh, and BTW, "nit picky" is actually one word. [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

Christopher, I'm just messing with you, didn't mean to catch you off like that, sorry if I did.

Like I said, I am prohibited from the track for right now. My parents don't like the whole speed/racing idea, so as long as they are paying for college, I have to back off of it for now. Also, my girl isn't a big fan, so that is another obstacle. I won't make it for a while though. :D Perhaps it will save me the embarressment.

1 hour, 1 friday night, and 15.00 and you will know. We won't tell, what your parents dont know wont hurt. If you dont want to "go against" your parents, just go to the track and watch youll get a good idea.

[01orangebird]

Thanx for all the replies, I just ordered my NX wet kit this morning so as soon as I get it hooked up and find a track with some decent weather up here in Michigan I will let you guys know. Im going to probaly stay with a 75 or 85 shot but if Im close to my goal which sooner or later will be 13's then I might bump up to a 100 or something.

After my Nitrous is installed Im getting a ripper shifter. Hate these damn long throws
