I have them on my camaro. They hook extremely good. Unbelievable actually.

As far as a race between my Porsche and camaro... I havent had them in the same state yet... but im certain my camaro in low boost would smoke the hell out of my porsche. The porsche has the 24/18g set up and runs a consistent 11.0@132. The Camaro is retarded.. and i've only been running 8 lbs of boost(I would guess 140 trap). But a 60 mph hit on the camaro.. there is no boost lag(V8 helps forsure)... and it covers WAY more ground in a way faster time than the porsche. I can't wait to feel 14lbs in the camaro. I am guessing a trap close or above 160.

I am a Nitto guy already (running 555s front and 555 DR's rear) and looked at the NT05 but they dont come in anything wider than 275 in 18s. Are you running the 335 in 19s I must assume? Heard great things.

My P-car should be fairly close to your numbers with my alpha 28s and meth injection. Haven't taken to track yet. But your Camaro is an absolute beast my friend. I would love to have TT on mine, but I have to go easy on my Procharged boost for now as I am still on a stock 400 2 bolt block. I really want to add a Dart Little M block and crank the boost to 18psi or whatever the max is with my D1SC. Hopefully someday.

Have a 1/4 day planned for the Camaro yet? 160 trap would be epic!

I don't have a day "planned" for the track... winter is just about here and the tracks are closed now. But here in my "Michigan" world and car scene... you can't have a fast car with out running it. You'll get haggled something serious.. so i will have to run it this spring.

Real problem is... it only has a 4 point cage.. no chute... no fuel turn off...ect. So i'll probably only get one pass.... even though im good friends with the track manager... and he lets things slide... going more than 150 through the traps will be pushing it. Maybe we will rent the track this spring.

And yeah.. 335 19's.

How much boost are you running right now??

Greg... I have to stick to skating... how else would i pay for this crap!! You know im just a "Dirty Ghetto Kid"!!

[Vegas69]

Come on out and we'll run em down the track together. I still need to get min out to the 1320.

Yeah I hear ya... or if you aren't hooking up just let out of it and brake til you get that really good pass and give it all its got. Knowing the track mgr sure don't hurt!

I'm only running about 10psi now, but this motor and block have seen 14psi when it hit 700rwhp when previously dyno'ed.

I'd really love to crank it up to 20psi.

Did Jody run a differant pulley to hit 14psi?

Nope, same pulley but we have an intercooler setup which we figured would result in 2-3 psi drop max, but we are seeing 4-5 psi drop lately. So we are going to check for boost leaks and try to test boost at the procharger on the dyno day and see what the deal is. Something is definitely going on....

[awr68]

Might have to change the PC pulley to make up for the IC drop? Keep me in the loop on this...I may have the same corrections to make!

Absolutely. I hope there is just a leak somewhere, otherwise a smaller pulley will be in order to dial up the boost.

What psi are you targeting for yours?

When are you hitting the chassis dyno?? That would be way cool to go down to Vegas and run the 1/4 with Todd.
