PB for the z28

just got back from the track. only got in 3 runs. the third run i botched it bad as i was still getting use to my 3600 stall but the tires or brakes didnt hold and it slipped and i crept forward which was around 3200RPMs.
anyways the first 2 runs were 12.7@108 with a 1.9 sixty and 12.5@109 with a 1.9 sixty. both stalled around 2800-2900RPMs. im running summer tires nitto zr555 that are nearly bald. vid link below. how do i increase the holding power to be able to stall past 3000RPMs? stickier tires?

Its a performabuilt from what I've been told. Bought it used from a local member on here.

Just did some researching about flashing the converter instead of trying to foot brake it as high s possible, which was what i was doing. Next time ill floor it at idle or hold at like 1500 or 2000 and go from there.

Keep trying different launch rpm to you get the best 60'. Your gonna need some sticky tires first though.

correct but the one i bought was originally a performabuilt before they sourced out to fti, according to the original owner. I also checked with performabuilt and they confirmed.
