I'd guess and low to mid 13....hopefully not much worse.

But yes post up your slip no matter what happens so we can analyze it.

That said, with sticky tires and decent conditions I firmly believe the IPF kit is a mid 12 second kit for sure without other mods like weight reductions and what not.

I'm gunna be happy with 13.5 now. Matt and I have been throwing the stall converter idea around and some better tire for the track. I have a set of LS steelies laying around the garage, may wrap those in something stickier

I think there is some track down in florida (not sure where at) where N/A modded V6 Camaros and Mustangs are running high 14s this time of year.

So if that's the case at your track, you may only end up with a mid to high 13.

Either way just have fun. Show us your slips, and try to take note of what other stock (or close to stock) cars are running for comparison.

They rescheduled it for tonight, but they are having NHRA point and no-points brackets and test and tune in between.....so that chance of getting more than one pass is slim to none.....so we are going to try again next Friday night for their normal test-tune night

V6owner · 07-20-2013, 05:06 PM

Good luck James!

I weighed my LS rims with tire and all it was 63 lbs. Biggest benefit will be the 18" diameter. Here is hoping you get at least 13.8

Had alot of fun last night. It was my first time to the track!! Its was about 90* and the humidity was slightly higher....

1st and fastest run of the night was 13.552@104.72---R/T .256---60' 2.008

I spun 1st, 2nd and hooked up in 3rd. I stuck with the Sport Mode, did not use the paddle shifters for this run.

The next run I switched to the paddles...seemed like there was lag in the shifting compared to leaving it in Sport Mode. Ran ran a 14.023 that pass

Went back to the Sport mode and ran 13.567 the 3rd run---R/T.529---60' 2.004

Ventmaster · 07-27-2013, 11:21 PM

Very nice times!

I think I'll get a chance to run mine next month, hope I can do as well.
