I might have a SERIOUS problem....need help I was at PIR this weekend, I have a '00 black z28 bone stock. I've made around 100+passes on Bandimere and Julesburg in Colorado, and I know I can race. My camaro had a 15.0 first run with a 2.4 60' I launched at 2000 RPM's, second pass was a 14.9' and I launched at 2500' RPM with a 2.2 60'. Does that seem slow to you guys? Could there be something wrong with my car or do I just need to go to the store and buy some vagisil because I got my feelings hurt?

Hahah 
That made me laugh out loud. Yes, the 60ft time is why you ran a 15 second pass. If all you are doing is spinning down the track..guess what..it makes you go slower...

Your car is in sad shape if 94 mph is all it ran at 100ft. altitude, are you sure about that altitude?? where is this track at, what state?
were one of your plug wires unplugged or something??? There is no way your trap speeed and times should be that slow if you were only 100ft above sea level, the first time i went to the track i had 2.2 60's and i still was running 13's plus my car is a heavy *** convertible which had a race weight of almost 3900lbs. Has your car been tuned or anything? that could be the problem since you were at a high elevation before

so there were some developments the past couple of days, I started to practice my launch, and realized after 3800 rpm I have a loss a power, not a huge loss, but noticeable. Then I start hearing a tick at certain RPMS but only under load... wtf?
