I know the pure stock classes are fairly easy to build towards, and we are interested in them. Our goal would be to run high 11's or low 12's. We're fairly raw in terms of technical knowledge, and I'm just looking where we should start in terms of engine mods.

We have a been a best of 12.12 in amazing air, on average we are around high 12.20's low 12.30's. We have aftermarket headers with full exhaust, a moser 12 bolt rear end, and just a couple other little add on's. But once again, any help would be appreciated, we are not looking to break records, just looking for some divisional race fun.

Thanks,
Jarrod Kolne.

Running Pure Stock is very cool...!!!
LS1 Camaro a very popular car.
Corbitt Marshburn and Brent Darroch have Pure Stock Camaro's too.
TAR HEAL has a similar car, a 2002 LS1 Vette.

Very easy to get competitive and can run well under the Index.
Think all of them have been deep in the 11's on good days.

I run a 1995 Impala SS with an Iron Head LT1 in G/PS.
Agree with TOSTO Racing on using a YANK Converter.

The small rear in your Camaro is rugged enough for Pure Stock.
Deep Gears, Slicks, Shocks, Converter and Tune you can actually pull wheelies.
Add a Bullet Blueprint cam and Springs and you are flying for the Record.
Stay under 11.50 you will not need a Roll Bar, Racing Seat and Seat Belts or fancy super duper expensive racing fuel.

Heck I drive my car to all the races.
Put my racing wheels on and go racing.

Send me a picture of your car and will post it on the Pure Stock PhotoGallery.
