RE: 12's in a 2v on a budget...vid up!
If you're on stock axles, start at about 13 before the burnout. This should put you at about 14-15 psi after a good burnout and get you a decent 60 ft while still slipping the tires a bit to soften the hit on the stock trans/axles.
If you want it yank the hoops like we did with this white GT, drop em to about 9.5 psi and watch em wad up like the side view posted. This is absolutely brutal on the axles, trans, rear, etc on a stock part car. If you have stock axles, posi, trans, etc, keep this to a minimum as you'll spit parts sooner or later.
On the bright side, you may get a few passes with the hoops up for screensavers!

We sell cams new for $625 to the forum junkies. Usually $650 in our shop, but we always try to help. Installation would be $450 from us, you'll also need the head change kit $189 with all the gaskets/seals you will use. Cams will also require a tune which is why I listed the SCT ($379), which will net 260-280 rwhp with the mods listed from what we've tested.
It sure makes these GT's alot of fun when you see a vette or LS1 looking for an easy kill

Were the cam's new? What kind were they? How much would it cost to have them installed at a shop?
EDIT: Have you guys had it dyno'd, if so, you have any numbers or videos or anything?

Codes Suspension/Engine Mods Minus S/b = 10,000ish?
PowerHouse GT Mods + Pro Install on Cams + Gears = 5,500
The first 1.5 seconds taken off the stock gts time of 14.0 is the cheap part
the last 1-1.5 seconds required to get you into the 11's is a lil more expensive
I say 14.0 stock because it is possible, very, especially with a prepped track, and the few free modifications that can be done.

I'm sorry, and its just my opinion, but I just don't buy the car is full weight. Either that, or there are more mods than listed.
Its a 280~ WHP car going 12.4s with a 1.6x 60'....
I have everything on the list plus about 140 WHP (and a little more suspension) and if I run a 12.0 I would crap my pants (even if it is on slicks compared to drag radials).
There is simply NO way my car with a set of slicks and the suspension would ahve anything on my car now on drag radials....
Edit: says the car is on stock manifolds???? Forget 280 WHP, more like 265-270
Edit 2: It says catback... yet the car doesn't have one. Also, the website says it has shorties?

Try dropping a full second off the time this gt w/ 4000$ of mods personally installed, add the install of a pro for the harder stuff and its probably 6000$. So with that in mind, and if you take out the shortblock for code (code only needed it because he shot a 175? shot of nitrous into his stocker, which blew) thats 3500 off the top. Starting to make sense now? Code is still sitting pretty, trust me.
