So you mean a lot of air and no added fuel is bad?? Hmmm that's crazy talk... Well no one else did it yet. :burn:

Man I wouldn't be getting into boost and definitely not racing until I got a tune if that was my car! Get one ASAP! But once you do, that SS will be seeing your taillights! Did you're car come with a spoiler delete? Or did you take it off? Torch red is sweet!

Regardless of the tune you just need some seat time. Spinning's Not Winning!!

If you are running street tires you've got to learn how to feather the gas until you are up to a speed that you won't roast the tires. Then give it more gas as speeds increase. This takes lots of practice and patience. Surface temperature and type will effect tire grip as well. You have to keep these in mind when figuring out how much gas the tires can handle.

That thing has to be way lean with no tune, pulley and a port. Maybe you got lucky and it's still ok. Go 2.76. Check your engine out, start by reading the plugs.

Camaro SS = junk I have a stegy ported cobra and have walked multiple new camaro's with plenty of mods and I've beaten them by at least 2 cars and that one had cams full exhaust blah blah lol You should be beating him but driving your car with a ported blower and no tune is suicide , get a tune ASAP ! And a smaller pulley too lol

Spend the money on a air/fuel ratio gauge. They aren't that expensive and it's great to have. I would also get rid of that 3.1 pulley and get something a little smaller. A BAP wouldn't hurt either and is easier than changing out than the fuel pumps. Good luck next time you run him, actually good luck to him...

I'd think it be the tune issue if the car really does have a factory tune. Didyou mod it or did you buy it like that. Just unusual for a car modded like that to not have a tune.

If thats the case then thats your problem.

If it has some kind of tune you have an issue. You should take that car easy.

Nah took the stock spoiler off, think it looks flush that way. And to everyone else just installed the blower brought it a week or so ago. This was my first WOT on it, buying Tune today put car in garage till I get it.

Good call on it bro. Im still getting used to this car and now have to get used to the new power and mods as soon as its tuned.

My Buddy just brought a 12 SS Camaro fully optioned with 1600 miles I just ran him on the street

Im still getting used to this car and now have to get used to the new power and mods as soon as its tuned.

:nonono: do what ya want, but be careful. I'd go for the track. Get those sticky tires, and a slip to prove the win. To much risk running on the street now adays
