Really? Because all of those guys are running 10.60-10.80s with 1.6-1.7 60's, what days? We can look those timeslips up. I'm curious who you were out running because the only blown 5.0s I know about who actually go up to PRP are Dan, Jason and Al, all three have put down better times than your nitrous'd 4th gen or your cammed 5th gen?

Unless you're talking about the one guy who was running up there on street tires and a roush blown 2013 5.0, which even I gave him the weird eyes for doing that and wasting a trip and $30.

Because your cam swapped 5th gen was .4 behind my previous bolt on 2011 5.0 and your nitroused 4th gen was .1 behind Time to up the jets!!

Hey didn't your 5.0 have nitrous at some point, what did it run with and without? and I'd still like a ride sometime in the Shelby


Btw, looks like we got our place, moving this weekend I think but I am still debating on keep or selling the camaro to free up the money, problem I face is
Keep Car - Work More/2nd Job
Lose Car - Work same
Lose Car - Work more for max$ turn around
But..
Losing car means buying a real cheap beater of course, with unknown history/repairs and would need awd/4x4 suv.. but 2 1/2year s30k miles is probably my best selling point, would only make a few $ off of it if im lucky..
ughugh

Depends how much you enjoy the car and if it's worth being "car broke."

I'm glad to see that the house ordeal worked out.

And as for the car, depends what you think the car is worth to you.

How much will you get for selling it?

How does that compare to the car you get to replace it? How much would it be to maintain it?

No reason to work yourself to death though. I've done 2-3 jobs before and it will drain you to the point of quitting. Don't do that to yourself.

Except for this last year, I have always had 2, if not 3 jobs spotted in here and there. I'll only get maybe 1-3k more then I own if I sell it, and I have no idea what maintenance will be on a beater, gotta find one first.. I am gonna do what I can to not get rid of the car.. the if I did get a beater, I would probably just get a bike in the summer

11.5 NA, 11.1 Nitrous, had a grounding issue, and it was only spraying in first and second gear. So I said to hell with it, ripped it off, and planned to put on a paxton SC. Ending up buying the GT500 instead.

Nitrous tune was removing 5 degrees of timing as I was planning to hit it with a 150 shot.
