First Race: 86 Iroc (#106) vs 92 Z28 (#104)

Second Race: 92 Z28 (#104) vs 83 Z28 (#105)

Third Race: 83 Z28 (#105) vs 89 Iroc (#100)

Forth Race: 86 Iroc (#106) vs 92 Z28 (# 104)

Fifth Race: 89 Iroc (#100) vs 92 Z28 (#104)

Sixth Race: 83 Z28 (105) vs 86 Iroc (#106)

Hows the times for the 92 Z28, and my Iroc?
Anyone have a clue whats up with my bros 83Z? His best 1/8 mile was 10.00 without the cam, 00 WS6 rear end, all the suspension upgrades and some other things, but the times are still worse. Last time at the track with just the cam, without the rear end, and suspension parts he ran a 10.07 @ 72 MPH. I know he needs a bigger stall, but his times should still be improving, even if his power band is moved up a little right? The 60fts seem horrible so is that the reason? Any suggestions on why the times aren't improving?
