Need to factor in the driver weight and then the difference that all the different mods make.

I'm assuming this calculator is telling you rear wheel hp?

Yeah rwhp. I tried both ways with curb weight of 3750 lbs and with estimated real weight (curb weight + my weight of 145 lbs + 3/4 tank of gas) of 3950.

Using the ET and weight calculator I get 278 rwhp with 3950 lbs or 264 with 3750 lbs and a 14.1. So yeah my bad, use real weight. Bmorecam's 13.67 ET and estimated weight of 3900 lbs puts him at 301 rwhp. Now that I recall his 290 was almost for sure reading low so yes, use real weight for ET.

For speed and weight it gives me 297 hp for final speed 97.1 mph and 3950 lbs. So I advise to use the curb weight for that as real weight is too generous.

Appreciate the heads up, but its the manual one...pretty thin really so I don't think I have to worry too much

Shouldn't have as much of an issue, however I did bend the rails that it retracts onto. Just be careful

That makes two. I had a somewhat busy morning and now it has somewhat calmed down. I know because I just said that it is going to get crazy again.

Is it sad that I have my bachelor party tonight but because it's also my midterm week I will just be playing super smash brothers all night with my friends? Well, and drinking, there will be lots of food and alcohol. Drunk Brawl should be fun.

What school are you at? This seems late for school to still be in.

Good Morning everyone, I just got my car back after getting my BBK Long Tube Headers installed I am very happy with it. one question though, the guy told me that i might need to change my spark plugs, cause it shakes too much and now that i added the BBK Headers the shake is more noticeable. could this be the spark plugs or something else?

PoorMansCamaro · 06-13-2013, 01:47 PM

I have never heard of anyone with a v6 Camaro, having to change their spark plugs from header install...

edit: I think a few v8 guys did, because they cracked a plug during install.
