Well Guys I Finally Got The Car Out To The Track In About A Year And A Half Or So And I Am Very Pleased With The Times, So Let Me Know What You Think. Here Are The Specs It Is A 68 Camaro With A 327 Bored Out To A 331 With Vortec Cast Iron Head, Edelborck Performer Rpm Air-gap Intake Stock Rocker Arms, Muscle Car Blueprint Cam For The 350 Hp 327, Hedman Headers With 2 1/2 Flowmaster Exhaust With A Custom Built X-pipe, Rear End Is A 8.2 10 Bolt With 4.11 Gears With An Auburn Posi, Stock Turbo 350 With A 2300-2500 Stall( Can Only Really Stall To About 1900) So In My Head I Was Thinking About 14.2-14.4 For Times,
Go Out For The First Pass, Heated Up The Tires A Bit (bfg's Radial Ta's 275/50/15)
And Of Course Was Going Against A 06 Mustang Gt So I Had To Show Up, Launched Good And Went Through The Traps, Came Back Around And Got My Slip And To My Suprise A 13.88 At 99.2 Mph I Was Very Suprised And Excited But I Only Got One More Run In Since I Didnt Have A Helmet With Me, Go To Line Up Against The Mustang Again Becuase I Guess He Was Saying He Could Beat Me If He Got A Better Launch So Again We Went And I Won Again With A 13.85 At 99.7 Mph To His 13.95 It Was Alot Of Fun And I Am Very Impressed With The Car So Let Me Know What You Think Both My 60 Ft. Times Were 2.16 And 2.14 Os Great Night All Around And Now I Have A Baseline To Start Improving From.

Nice work. Always fun to silence a Mustang boy. :thumbsup:

With a pair of drag radials you'll be in the mid 13's easy. A 2.0 60 ft. is about as good as it gets on street tires. Were you shifting it manually?

Sweet times! I think with some 275/50/15 MT Dr's and a 2800-3000 converter you would see low 13's no problem. Good job...
