But in reality, 178 sounds a bit high... More like 165... the aerodynamics are the Camaro's real limiter

Hey when you get a chance try this mod on your car!
Step 1: go to your twin turbos
step 2: cut them out
step 3: put them in bubble wrap
step 4: put them in a box
step 5:ship them to me
All Done! Thanks for donating!

I got a head start on you... The turbo's are out of the car, as is all of the boost and inlet piping... which is being recoated... The intercooler and all necessary brackets as well as the custom hand fabricated exhaust manifolds are ready to go... Proven to 1000 hp.... Great for a stock cubes engine... Too small for my 429 cubic inches... We are going for bigger turbo's... bigger piping, and more power...

A stock SS won't hit 178, the ZL1 won't even do it. Watch all the trouble it has on the end straightaway getting to 170. Also notice the tach is at redline in 6th gear.
