g-teched my car

was bored and my friend mentioned he had one...so we thought...lets see what the camaro could do...


these times are not what you would call "fast" but for what this car has done to it it has impressed me some..

car was ran with full interior and in street trim...it weighs about 3700-3900lbs with both of us in it

only mods i know of done to the car before i bought it were a cam that is slightly bigger than stock,holley carb, edelbrock performer intake,headers and a shift kit when the trans was rebuilt


things holding the car back were the crap 215/65/r15 cooper tires which tend to wanna spin real easily, stock exhaust....other problem was the weight...the car was ran on a 1/2 tank of gas also.....the biggest facter also was the stock converter only being a good 1600-1800 stall...not the best

best 0-60 was 6.1 seconds and that had some wheelspin


[email protected] - manually shifted
[email protected] - left in overdrive
[email protected] - manually shifted
[email protected] - manually shifted






these times were done in 30* weather and the car still has the stock suspension and 21 yr old rubber bushings in it ....things the car will get soon are bfg drag radials on my draglite rims that will knock off atleast 80 lbs off the car, the spare tire,fiberglass cowl hood,lower control arms,subframe connectors and rear seat will be removed...fresh tune and better wires than the crappy ones on it...plus my digital 6 ignition system

my figure is the car has about 200-230hp at the rear wheels

Re: g-teched my car

Re: g-teched my car

G-tech is not the most accurate or atleast in my experiences. It read an entire second slower than the results at the track. My friend and i used it on his camaro and he ran a 16.4 with the G-tech we went to the track and he got a 15.0 it was v6 m5 camaro.

Re: g-teched my car

the trick to the gtech is you need to have it level on a level road for it to measure correctly...one my other car it was damn near right on with only the mph being a little off because the gtech doesn't estimate the mph like the track does...

my car is a 305


i am removing the lca's becaise newr tubular ones are way better and dont flex under hard excelleration....with subframe connectors and lca alone i lost 3 tenths on my other car....with some fatter stickier tires i will break this time down when my track opens

Re: g-teched my car
