I was wondering what heads & cam did you used to have in that camaro anyway and what kinda horsepower did u have and what kinda numbers at the track were you running?

98 LS1 camaro
3500 stall
pacesetter LT's, no cats, borla catback
very well worn hoosier qtp's
everything else stock including suspension, steel DS, & 2.73 gears 12.7@107 in ~50* weather

added
tsp 231/237 112 cam
patriot S2 heads
Aluminum DS
BMR TA
Spohn adj. LCA's
Cartek tuning
373 rwhp
339 rwtq
locked converter, dynoed in second gear because the 2.73's wouldve pulled 6800 rpms to about 190mph on the dyno.
12.9@112mph in similar conditions ~50*

pulled cartek tune in favor of stock
personally adjusted via hptuners
running airflow table
base idle table
TC lockup tables
missfire tables
deleted codes
bumped rev & speed limiters up
set shift points
12.7@112 in 95* weather last august...wrecked the car in either late august or early sept.

Im sure I wouldve been able to run 115mph + by bumping my timing up and getting my a/f correct but neither were touched for my maiden track runs
