agree there! 380-400 whp is REALLLYYYYY stretching it on the power. I don't think with just an exhaust and a cam he is pushing that much AT ALL! He doesn't have any other mods besides that? IMO that's just not going to get a 2000 Camaro to that hp level.

No, I actually didn't read the whole thread... hard to believe that with an exhaust an a cam it would pull that much hp though. If his friend's car is 200 lbs more and he himself is a rather large 400 lbs though even with the 40 or 50 hp he may have on him may not be enough to overcome that amount of extra weight. I would say it would be a rather close race. Was his friends a MT or AT?

Well I will be making street tire runs and dr runs. I will pull the spare and tools that is 40lbs on top of all the weight reduction from the mods so about 100 lbs which for rule of thumb is good for 10whp being used.

I won't got that far I just had the 5w30 redline put in so I will stick with that, thanks for the advice though.

His Camaro is a 6speed. Hopefully with all the factors of weight and my bolt on's it should be a pretty close race, honestly I think with me getting off the plane and going to the track the 1st day I actually drive my car he has the advantage. I don't expect to pull him that 1st weekend home but I hope the 2nd week I am home I will get it done if I didn't do it the first time.

It's actually pretty common to make those numbers based on just those mods. Those engines are beast.

If the camaro is running DR on a stock 10 bolt he's running a huge chance of blowing his rear. My buddy went though 3 rear ends in a matter of 1.5 years and that was in a 3rd gen with a 305 making like a little over 200 hp.

V8Killer do u know all the mods the camaro has done to it?

All I know is a baby cam and a corsa exhaust. I can get more specifics from my buddy.

I love reading posts like this :-p

My 2000 Camaro with intake, exhaust and cam, put over 400 to the wheels. And it was a BABY cam.
