103.50 trap, 14.0?????
im a complete amatuer when it comes to 1/4 mile or drag racing in general, so im just looking for advice.
i have a 2000 camaro ss, M6, Stock **** tires atm,3.42 gears, clear lid, exhaust shop 2.5 true dual cat back, other than that everything about the car is stock.
im just wondering if these track times seem normal??

Your going to have to slip the clutch if you want a decent time with street tires. Try starting at 2500, then move up until you find the limit of your traction. Try going with 1/4 tank gas, fill the front tires up all the way and let a few psi out of the rears.
Also make you are shifting at the right rpm and as quick as possible.

He is refering to you as launch control. And you can get a set of nitto drag radials on your stock rears wheels and they will hook plenty at your power level, but you dont wanna go out and launch 3500 rpm or more on slicks because you will end out breaking your stock rear end.

well was back out at the track for midnight madness,
got my 60 foots cut down by 3/10 and ran a 13.56 at 105.50 will post slip tomorrow but pretty happy!
same tires, havent changed the car at all. just rode the clutch a little leaving and was able to flash to about 3k without to much spin.
