This is my very first run. I just got the engine broke in at 3000 miles and did my oil change before this run. I never ran it for time before now.
My trap speed seems like it should have a lower e.t. with it. 13.9 @ 112mph

I have the stock 15" Camaro Sport tires and they spin a long way. Should I let them spin or feather the gas to keep the spinning down????

Holy ****! Damn your car is a sleeper...I'd say throw on some drag radials and remove your front sway bar...that should help. What was your 60' times? I imagine they sucked...with a 112 trap speed you should solidly be in the mid 12s, if not better.

Again, cool car dude

MPH is a direct result of HP. 112 should be good for low to mid 12's. ET is a result of traction. Find ways to reduce the amount of tire spin and ET's will drop to where they should be.

You have me excited John... Im building a 383 now with similar setup... anyways 112 mph is very good. Based on the 13.9 it tells me you cannot launch good enough(terrible spin)... just for info, Ive run a 13.7 at only 99 mph... looks like you should be pushing upper 12's to me. what was your 60'?

I don't have any 60' times, this was my very first time at a run and think I used to much gas off the start. I spun like h@ll and started to slip sideways with my posi.

 

Wow! 112mph, thats flying thru the traps. I ran 13.81@98.96mph so you should be able to dip into the 12's with some traction. Sounds like an awesome ride!
