Times are inside>>

Well guys...I promised you times of a stock 305 TBI Camaro w/ exception of hedders, full non cat-back flowmaster exhaust, open element, & 160 stat. The rear used was an open 2.73. Then I promised times w/ a 125 shot of nitrous and a built 3.73 posi rear.
Well do to VERY bad luck, the nitrous was not functional that night and I wasn't going to risk anything. Nor was the 3.73 installed yet.
2.3X 60' 15.9X @ 90.XX mph 1/4 mile. I don't have the slip w/ me but it is something like this. The mph is quite nice IMO but the E/T was just not there. Ohh, and I popped the tranny mount on my first burnout and decided to make the run anyway. So, I was done for the night. Temperature was like 85% and it was nasty and humid outside

Well.....given a decent launch (which I thought they were), what kind of E/T am I looking at? I calculated 15.4 or so.

Seriously, everytime someone get a ****ty time they blame it on wheel hop. LoL. Maybe I won't get lower control arms from Lakewood just incase I get a sh*tty time I can blame it on that.

a 2.3 short time is pretty rotten even for a stock LO3. i would suggest looking for a posi, that will help a lot. also did you try to mess with the tire pressures at all. an easy trick with the peg leg is to put the right rear at 26psi and the left rear at 30psi. then put about 45psi into the fronts to help them roll easier. could be worth a little bit, not a permanent answer but a start.
