what is wrong with my car? Car: 1998 SS camaro m6 52k mi
Mods: Cutout, clear lid, K&N
tires: Kumho 275/40ZR17 all around, look brand new
Ran it at milan dragway in michigan, i dont have the time sheets in front of me this is from what i remember, their has to be something wrong with my car, i know the 60ft sucks but i shouldnt be this slow.
60ft: 2.314
1/4mi: 14.14 @ 102.24mph
this was my best run out of like 10 runs, i missed third a lot but on my best runs i shifted perfectly. Weather was beautiful, like 57*. The car felt strong as hell, didnt feel like it hesitated at all, pulled like crazy, would bark second everytime, i beat a couple 5.0s no problem, what is wrong with my car?? my last fbody felt like a dog and would hesitate and blow smoke but i still managed to run the same times as this car, i know their is something wrong here. I ran a 2.3 60ft everytime, no matter what i did, i could bog out or squeel the tires, i still ran a 2.3 60ft, even when i felt i got a great launch i would look at the time slip and be like wtf?? im thinking their was seriously something wrong with the track times or something. im pissed i buy this car and it dont even run as good as my 94 z. please help

5500 seems low I shift at 6200 off a shift light. Do you have a shift light? If not get one it helps. The stock tack does show the correct rpm it is always a little behind.
