It's cool that you can take an SS Camaro completly stock, put
a good intake and tuner like the SCT for the Cobras, and spray 150
horses with a set of sticky's and run 12.20's in 1/4.

Weight is a big issue in Cars, If the Camaro's weighed 2900lbs like my SRT-4, being rear
wheel drive lol then it would be killer at 460hp!

Detox, Who dynoed your car, was it tuned on the dyno with the laughing gas?

Thanks for the comment RMZ,

Yea my car is very fast from a kick on the street, Iv raced a few Cobra's and Vette's
with my old Yellow SRT-4 on 50 horses of gas.. never really got beat with the nitrous on that car because it seemed to make alot of torque on n20, the car was tuned on 50 horses on a dyno jet, it put down 344whp and 402 lb/ft torque. That car was a monster 2nd gear up to 150mph.

But my new SRT Is just scary fast when it actually hooks up, this turbo is massive, its very laggy going into boost but when it hits 25lbs boost with 100 octane...omg its a beast. Arron at realtune performance had the dyno sheets when it put out 514 on 110 race fuel, iv never really had it in the budget to buy that VP race fuel they used as it is just fast enough at 488whp lol.

Detox, Who dynoed your car, was it tuned on the dyno with the laughing gas?
I live 30miles East of Atlanta. A place in Covington, GA. has a Dyno I forget the name of the shop, but no additional tuning was done to car after I added nitrous except I used colder plugs to prevent detonation. RPMotorsports in Atlanta originally tuned the car so it would idle after I added the cam and headers. Without the Nitrous the car dynoed 380hp 370ftlbs torque. I also added a 3.73 ring and pinion gear to the weak factory 10 bolt. Car really needs a heavier duty 12 bolt to survive during hard launches

Nice, Well your not but maybe less than 5 hours away from me then.

So does your clutch slip with nitrous?...

Well your car would be pretty bada$$ at 1/8th mile track, your car should run 7.70's on slick with the n2o....

Got more pics?

Whats the glugs gapped at. mine ran great at 0.32 but your car being natrually assperated none turbo would be diffrent than mine..

Car feals really powerful on nitrous...sounds and feals like a big block Chevy, but car spins really bad so I do not know if the stock clutch slips or not. I have some 17" Micky Thompson drag radials that I never mounted on the car. Plugs were gapped 35 or 45 thousands... I cannot remember.

Here's a recent picture. Car is very dirty. I do not have any engine bay shots
Detox, Have you ever seen an SS with 07-09 C6 Vette wheels on these cars, seems like I seen a dude that had a White SS with those C6 wheels and it looked great!

Are you running a ZEX or NOS kit.

Yea thats a very bad draw back, you may have alot of power, but if your not putting it down your not winning lol thats why my cars suxs on street tires.

I actually have a NOS kit for sale, has all the lines to run a wet shot, fogger ect. 18hp pills, 45, and 50 hp if you know anyone that wants it, $340.00 brand new!

How much do you need from it, theres guys that may want this kit.

Does your kit run on alarm switch and button .. or clicker on throttle body,

many people tear up cars not knowing how to use nitrous, thats why I ask... Ill help you sell it!

My system is activated by a switch mounted @ gas peddle lever under dash. I removed the wet Nitrous system because my fuel solinoid could not hold back the pressure of the OEM fuel pump at idle and while cruising around town. Intake was flooded with fuel because of it. I am thinking seriously about buying and using the safer 100hp NOS Dry kit.

Cam specs: duration @ .050 lift ... 224 intake 228 exhaust,... lift .570. So it does have a slight lope especially when car is first started when cold.

Nate, I trust that the brakes and suspension were also modified. As I come from a rallying background. The twists and turns in the road is where the fun is and skill as a driver. Watch on Speed what rally drivers accomplish on all road surfaces. They are truly the best race car drivers in the world. No yellows, no safety cars and when they crash it is into a tree or worse.

Iv watched a few of the Rally races in the Hill's ect. but I don't think Ill be running my front wheel drive in any autocross, Man it spins bad in and out of boost in sharp turns and has alot of understeer ect. My cars just a fun little car for the street. If I had an AWD it would be sweet to do some rally tho!

I have to say I'm still amazed at what you can do with a turbo on these 4 cyl engines, having the on demand power without ruining gas mileage is such a plus.

Out of curiosity I started searching to see if there are many hopped up turbo v-8's being run, and there don't seem to be many. I did find one though, (built by a Canadian speed shop) that's pretty cool. 1000+ hp, 8.80's.

Is the reason there are so few (it seems) v-8's running turbos is that they are just better suited to smaller displacement higher revving motors?

Just thinking out loud here
