i have a 96 camaro v6 that is basically stock (ok fine- a k&n air filter and a magnaflow muffler, but only the mullfer and not a catback) the mods will not make a difference in the 1/4 i know, so the stock time will still apply. i tried searching the internet for the time myself, only to find that all the times are of z28's. if it helps, the 0-60 time is 7.4 seconds i think. thanks!

Mike, your full of it. Your about as bright as a blown out light bulb and a bold face lair to boot. You don't have a clue!



The stock times on that V6 camaro is around

0-60 mph in 7.3 to 7.5 seconds, Quarter mile in 15.5 to 15.7 seconds



Your mods MIGHT shave off 0.05 seconds



Now to Mike again.... You need ALOT more than a 25 HP gain to run 10's.. His stock engine is 200 HP, so you think you can run 10's with 225 HP??? The only way that can happen is in a 1,000 lbs race ready car.. His car weighs around 3500 lbs. Hell a bike and rider is close to 1,000 lbs



You must be talking 1/8 mile.. No, not with 100+ mph trap speeds. 200 HP gets you 10's in the 1/8 mile at 68 mph in a 4th gen (pretty much stock specs and times)





To run 12's @ 112-114 in a 4th gen you would need 475 HP



to run 10's @ 125-130 in a 4th gen camaro you would need 700 HP



You do NOT own a daily driven 9 second 89 GT mustang.. That's like 800 HP needed to run 9's in a fox body stang. You don't and can't drive a 800 HP car daily.



I know, I tried that with my real 600 HP 1988 camaro.. 8 miles per gallon on 93 octane with timing pulled way out, for it to run right needs 105 octane race fuel atleast. Can't run power brakes cause cam is too big and don't make enough vac, very high stall speed torque converter, full roll cage, window net, 5 point belts, etc

Billy is right. Stock the 3.8 will run 15s. You wont see noticeable 1/4 gains until you start getting into headers and tunes

with your extras v-6 112 114 miles and hour quater mile 12 second car. put mass air change your pulleys to aluminum split fire plugs, you would increase your horse power by 25, make you 10 second car 125 to 130 quater mile
