    Leave the MAF sensor alone for sure. If anything, descreen it and/or get a Z06 one, NOT a SLP, Granatelli, etc. I'd say a Fast intake/TB and heads would get you there.

    Oh, and definately a catback if you don't already have it. Your sig just says Flowmaster, so I don't know if that means a 80 series with stock, etc. A cutout would help as well.

    A LS6 intake would be a wise investment as well, or wait for the new Weiand Street Warrior.

    well this is scary...get the fast 92/92..its time for your car to get the fast 92 set-up...also look into more of your suspension..lca relocation brackets, a adj. tq arm also. heads will also get you there..but the fast 92/92 should be addressed first..in order to fully utilize the heads and cam.

    I'd agree with milkman. I'd just suggest heads to make the 92/92 worth it, and that can get REALLY expensive. I've read that the Street Warrior might be better though, and half the price, thats why I suggested it.

    Hey bro can you tell me what is all done to your Camaro? is the track you run at more or like a tenth mile? how about your suspensuion set up the more power you make you have to tune your suspension for it, 1.68 is great but if you can get it to around a 1.55 you'll run low 7.0's a good 60 foot will make all the differance. I have been racing for along time I run a stock suspened 68 Camaro with no power adders so far I have run a 6.61 at 103 with a 1.40, I would be glad to answer any questions the easiest way to get answers to a question like that is to ask it then tell us everything you have done to it's easier to tell what adjustments need to be made.

    why?

    the car isnt stock tuned anymore

    GM factory de-screened the MAF on the '02+ Z06's.

    the screen is there to straighten the air coming in, but with an Fbody intake setup there aren't any bends to interfere with the air coming in like in a truck intake.

    /rant


    anyhow, an 85mm MAF and TB will make a huge difference in upper range power since you already have the LT's

    Whether its stock tuned or not doesn't matter. In MANY MANY MANY cases changed to something like the SLP 85mm MAF has caused nothing but problems, such as running terrible, throwing lean codes, etc. The only way I would ever change the MAF is if I had it tuned when I put it on, and even then, it still might not help some of the problems. Then again, its just what I've read, I haven't tried the one I have...and don't really want to from what I've read.

    Shedding some weight could be a cheap and easy way to lower your times.
