Default Still in the 12's

Well after the last 2 times I was at the track I and consistantly ran 12.2@115mph and 3 12.0@116mph. I Added a Spohn Adjustable TA and borrowed my buddies skinnies. I had high hopes of at 11.9X but it was a crappy night at the track. It was packed for starters and kinda humid, and people were breaking stuf left and right. We got there and spent the frist 2 hours just sitting in the staging lanes. I only got to make 2 passes but they were a 12.084@116.87mph with a 1.807 60' and a 12.031@116.58mph with a 1.757 60' but not bad for my wimpy z06 cam and a 3750lbs race weight.

I think if I would have been able to make another pass or 2 I could have hit the 11's oh well maybe next time.

I got someone that is gonna put his wideband on my car and do a little tuning for me so that might help a little but if that doesn't do it I will be picking up a set of PP stage 2 ls6 heads next week and will be installing later this summer probably with a different cam. It should go well in the 11's then.

Practice the launch, your 60' time is preventing you from getting into 11s.

Your trap speed indicates that you should be in mid-high 11s.

I am not to crazy about launching it to hard. I still have my crappy 10 bolt. Also with my stock bilstien suspension when I launch the car squats really bad, tires hit the fenders and then it bounces back up. Some suspension work is inline for over the winter.
