First time to the track I went to the track the first time a couple weeks ago and haven't been on here in a while. The car is a 98 Z28. I ran a 12.57 at 112 with a 1.98 60ft. My mods consist of 2800 Vig stall, LT'S, ORY with cutout, LS6 Intake, Sub frame connectors, S60, 373's, Speed Inc 231/237 cam. The car dynoed at 365rwhp but i misplaced the dyno graph and i dont remember the torque. I'm also on street tires which is why the 60 ft is terrible, but i was wondering if i could get any advice on lowering the E.T. future mods for the spring will consist of Billet specialties with a 275 radial on it, weight reduction, adjustable torque arm, and a ram air. Thanks, Tom

I'm from Illinois but raced at Byron drag way in Wisconsin. I also thought what it dynoed at was a little low for what it has done to it, especially compared to other peoples results but I'm not gonna get caught up in it. The tires on it now are complete garbage, same ones it had when i bought it a year and a half ago.

Tires and wheels (drag setup), susp. work (start in the front), race with all excess weight removed and yes a much bigger converter!! Your cam specs out bigger than mine so that's an indicator of where you should be with some mods! Good Luck!!

Speed Inc tuned it, but with it being my first time to the track I know there is plenty of room for improvement, just looking how to get there. What did you dyno at CamaroFreakls1?

363rwhp 352rwtq unlocked I'm with you though i feel like we both should be making more power! I have heard that the 98 had junk 806 heads but i still don't think it should be holding us make like both our rwhp and trap speeds are telling

Im not gonna get caught up in the numbers but i agree you should have dynoed a little higher especially having a ported FAST intake over my LS6, where did you get your car tuned Camarofreak?

Yeah sorry I don't know why I said WI it was in IL. I would like to try and get to the track one more time with some nice air, but with the weather here I haven't had a chance to.
