How much is left? Finally got my '02 Z28 to a strip. My best run was a 12.732 at 111 mph with a 60 ft time of 2.150. This was accomplished in 78 F and 54% humidity. The car has a Yank PAS3400, 3.42 gears, Nitto NT555 G2 street tires, and makes about 380 rwhp. What do you guys think I might be able to pull off with more practice and better weather?

I am looking at your tires as really being the biggest opportunity here.
You can practice and practice, and maybe get that ting down a tenth or two, but thats about it.
Your stall just can't help you much with the rubber you have.
If you want decent street/strip tires get some Nitto 555R2's, or maybe a set of MT/SS drag radials.
Then after you get them start digging around on these forums.
Learn about footbraking and flashing the stall, tire pressure, etc. and get out to the track of practice practice and more practice.

Are you on a trans brake and what RPM are you launching at? The 60' suggests that your either spinning out of the hole or your not launching it hard enough so yeah there's more in it. A set of drag radials or move over to a 15" wheel to run 28 x 10.5 slicks and probably even benefit from a 3.73 gear set.
