That was my old car, most will run mid 15s. I cracked 13s with cut outs and a 50 shot of nitrous. Great sleepers, mine only weighed 3000 pounds + a V6, not bad...

The 02s are basically 5th gen v6 camaros with fwd and 700 less pounds.

Guess I will go 2800 rpm, and check the leaf springs thanks.

Good to see you're having fun.

LS3?
Try not to underestimate the scalabilty of the C4 platform.
Some guys are squeezing 500+rwhp with a TPI stroked motor.

This holeshot guy is king of the C4s, with a very economical package.
I think this car got into the mid 11s....which is pretty quick for a street car.


I would just copy his recipe.

I love C4s.....but my legs don't fit.

Well I want to supercharger it after with a centri and go for an aluminum block. But I've seen a couple of his videos he is definitely fast for a TPI!
