if i wanted to get a LS1 camaro into low 12s what would be the best route. I kinda want to stay away from nitrous. thanks

 

6-speed or auto?

-John

 

Yeah,cause it's easier with an auto Anyway,I think some basic bolt-ons and sticky tires will be enough in cold weather if you know how to drive.

A new airbox, the "free mods," An M6 tranny if you are a skilled driver, A4 for more consecutive times. 3.23 gears if auto, 3.73 if M6, of course the K&N filter, some stickier tires, to put all that new power to the ground, and to top it all off with an exhaust/muffler, you will be running high to mid 12's in no time

 

With an auto, I'd get a high stall torque converter, Drag radials, Gears, reprogram the PCM, free mods and cold weather.

That should get you pretty close.

 

Lid, K&N, Loudmouth, all the free mods, drag radials, some good air, and decent altitude. If your in a high alt. area then the formula for 12s will be different.
Doesn't matter whether it's a stick or auto. I ran 12.96 with this combo in my 2000 Formula A4. Added a converter, slicks, and an OR y-pipe and ran the #s in the sig.

 

Sig ... all bolt-on and that was in a 1400 DA. Before the year is out I expect to hit an 11

One hint though it's takes a lot of passes to tweek and tune the engine and suspension to get the most out of it. And depending upon your driving experience, some seat time for your self so you know what you have.

A guy took new Z and went mod for mod copying my car, before he even took it or himself to the track ... never got it out of the 13s before he put it in the wall as he crossed the traps at 108

 

All you need is some drag radials and some ***** to launch your ride on the 10-bolt...All that mean 12's

 

im planning on getting a 6speed because im tired of autos. thanks guys for the help.

 

power pullys, programer, nittos, and cold air induction will put a ls1 in the 12's.....
