agree......too far apart with the same rwhp. Do you really believe that the driver's weight makes a different? And if that's case loosing all of that weight should be indicated as an additional modification. I think that is misleading when it is not mentioned. If these cars are setup for drag racing only, then I need to rest my case. Most SS cam cars accompanied by supporting mods, should have a trap speed of around 114/115. Anything way beyond that, then I become curious. Later this fall, I will find out with my car at the track before I make any further judgement. I am in no way trying to knock anyone.....I just feel sorry for the guys that has a substantial amount of horsepower but unable to lay down big time trap speed (120 to 125 mph) or a least get close to it. |

No, 17 inch weld wheels, the 17 inch wheels and tires knocked 85 lbs off the car. Also 1.5 inch smaller diameter rear tire, I will try and post a pic later. I think maybe I will do a build thread to with everything that's done to it as well, and explain a few things.

By the way, the first ZL1 we worked on that we used to develop our ZL1 CAI system for, ran 11.4 @ 121 mph when we track tested it, with only our CAI, drag radials, and New Era tuning. Yes the ZL1 has more power, but it is also much heavier. My car is about 500 lbs less than a ZL1, so using the standard 100 lbs is worth 1 tenth and 1 mph faster, that ZL1 would have ran 10.9 @ 126 which is basically what my car does.

Well now that makes sense, 500 lbs less. I just think some of the guys are leaving out a little more pertinent information about their modifications. If you lost weight then say so. My cammed C6 2005 LS2 with 432 rwhp could only trap no more than 112 mph. I was not disappointed because there were not many street cars running above that. The exact same day, there were two SS Camaros with the same horsepower, no cam, running around 109/110 trap speed. Both guys were curious because they thought I had way less horsepower. I finally told them that I had a cam. Evidently the weight was the big difference between our cars. I run in hot Florida......so our times are going to be much different from the boys up North, where I use to live. thanks. |

115 trap speed is fast too me for a street car/occasional driving. Your previous car is fine with me, White 2SS/RS. You have indicated everything that you have done to your car to the upmost. It appeared that you put down a better 60ft and better air at the track in order to get 115. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks

My car does not have 500 lbs in weight reduction, just to be clear. ZL1's weigh more than the SS's do, correct me if I am wrong but I think ZL1's are about 250 lbs heavier. We have done about 250 lbs of weight reduction to my car to run this fast (approximately 3750 lb current race weight with driver), and it dyno's at 475 rwhp.

If your cammed car went 12.22 I would have sold it also.
