Future mod plans? How do you drive your car? What are your goals?

Lots of good shops over in Texas. I see them popping in here every now and again. Lots of experience here. Answer those questions and a lot of people will guide you to a good choice.

Futral Motorsports in Walker, LA. One of the best in the business, my car will be going down there in October for cam swap. Allan built the motor in my 02SS.

i def need another tune, idk what is wrong or if it is a problem at all ( my car runs great) but at idle it sounds like i already have a small cam. lol. it happened after tune. The guy hooked up his computer and said my o2 is not syncing properly? could be causing my rpms to bounce...its not running lean or rich... well 7% lean but not enough to cause rpm bounce...any suggestions? retune? jw what are camaros running in the 1/4 with a set up like mine w/ drags...( lt headers,sp, exhaust (all 3 inch) cai, tune)?

Maybe I missed it somewhere... LS3 or L99?

If you don't get hooked up with Lethal... we have a bunch of great shops here in Houston...

460 is easily do-able. with the mods you have and with drag radials you would be in the 12's. how far into the 12's depends on how good you are at launching a manual(if thats what you have). right now with the cam i have i put down 430rwhp and i was running 12.4's (in 100* heat) with drag radials and riding out the clutch slowly(1.9 60')

a friend from Jennings(2010 2-tone) made a 12.55 pass in the spring with a tune, cai and headers with drag radials.

Agree... mid 12's with those mods... add a cam and you could easiy crack the 12.0 mark as long as you can hook.
