I think I honestly have the fastest thirdgen. It ran 18.4@70 mph! That's not bad huh ? Considering everybody else runs like 14s and 13s !! Oh wait.... the lower numbers are better huh ? Aww DAMN! I thought I had a fast car...

LMAO

If I'm not mistaken Willie runs 11s with a 305. It might be low 12s, not exactly sure.

I run 8's all the time at the virtual drag racing site. @camaro.com If you havn't tried this site, try it out. You build you own car from gears to carb. Gotta earn points to buy stuff by racing other people. Have fun!!!!!

There is a guy on the sethirdgen site who runs 9s with a tpi 305. Someone had posted a link to a video of it a few days back. Wow!!! That is something to watch

JFOX....

List me your mods if you dont mind.

I am wondering what type of setup you had & ran high 12's with it?

Reason i am curious is because most of these guys in here are TPI guys.

Just curios to see what type of CARB motor you have

I do not know all the mods, because I didn't build the car. But I have downloaded all the ones I do know in my signature. Here they are. I have not taken the car to the track yet, The guy I bought it from had some track slips for it and they were mid 12's. This was with slicks, so I am figuring high 12's now with street tires. I will be taking to the track soon, so I will let you know.
