Ok, im gonna have the camaro going by next weekend and as soon as im done making sure the car is in order im gonna go to the strip.

The car has from the prior owner: cai, 373s, stock torque converter for now, offroad y with cutout, stock manifolds, 100 shot nitrous, and a dyno tune. The car is lowered 2 inches. Will that make my times better or worse? Tires are michelan pilots.

The prior owner ran 13.2 with a stall and no nitrous by the way.

Did he run those times with the same tires you have or did he have DR's or slicks? Id have to guess 12.70 at 112-114 if you're street tires. Having the lowering spring definately won't help traction and might make wheel hop worse.

He was on street tires. He could have been BSing me but he claims he ran 13.2 on street tires and no nitrous. That was when the car had a 2800 stall and i will be running a stock stalled converter.

I think the main limiting factor is going to be traction. You probably won't be able to you the system until 2nd gear without significant wheel spin.
