My old Camaro again,
Just an opinion here, but an old Camaro isn't a new Dodge...no
comparison.
FYI, the limiting factor in the equation is fuel pressure.
If you can maintain constant fuel delivery (40+lbs) at WOT, you can run
a 200 shot.
Just don't run it lean(or any N20 shot) or BOOM! Instant shredding of
the air box.
I think he ran a 13.4 @ 99 on an otherwise stock 5.9, although he does
have cal tracs and bfg's for the obvious reasons.
