1995 camaro wont 60ft.. Well i got a 1995 camaro weights 3650 with me in it, Its 383le2 heads cam,on a 250shot,with a th350 4300rpm on the trans brake,its got a custom torque arm with a 8.5 diff the torque arm is a copy of a bmr moded to work on a 8.5 diff, has lakewood LCA, 3.73 gear and 26-11.5-15QTP. best 60ft is a 1.48 with this setup and my all stock susp. with a 4l60e and 7.5 with a 200dshot off the foot brake did 1.48s. i was thinking it should be able to do 1.3X 60s??also pinion angle is set -2degrees. best time to date is a 10.13@135.91 with a 1.54 60ft.
Do you have relocation brackets, can you adjust the hight of the torque arm, do you have adjustable shocks, do you have front drag springs?
With your power level it's time for more adjustment options on the chassis. I'd start with getting adjustable shocks.

sounds like it has too much torque multiplication....
th350 has a 2.5x first gear i believ and you have 3.73 in the rear and a 26" tall tire...
a 28" tire would probably make a night and day difference...

Several things that you can do to help. I would first start by getting a set of ET drags, 28x10.5S ONly reason I say that is because they are a known to alot of people on here and they just work in general on everything.
Are you stalling the car up any, just flashing the converter, leaving off a transbrake, and if so at what rpm?
Do you have any video of what the car is doing? Have someone watch the car when you leave the line, does it spin, does it go but just bog? How is the nitrous wired, is it wired to work right off the transbrake?
More info needed.....

Verdad Gallardo Tire pressure seems about right, I've found that heavier cars like more pressure.
If the car was bogging I'd say add 2 lbs to stop that, if it's spinning, until you get some adjustable shocks on the car the only thing you can really do is play with air pressure, messing with the pinion angle really won't solve the problem.
Have you ever tried leaving off the footbrake? What does the car do if you hold it just above idle and smash the gas pedal? (nitrous comes on @ WOT only but not when the transbrake is on )

If it was any thing like mine before we re did it the car was just blowing the tires off. to much power not enough suspenion. I was going through to 60ft consistant 1.45s sideways 
Lighter and more adjustments. Madman solved my problems

+1 call MADMAN on the phone 225-673-3533, give him all your detailed info and pay him what he asks to dial in your car. It cost to go fast, pay to do it right and get it done. You can ask people on here all day that don't know their hand from their ***, pay an expert. That's my opinion.

QUOTE=RAGENZ28;9637482]If you go the same 60ft as you do foot braking on the transbrake your suspension setup is junk.[/QUOTE]
yea i think your right just got back from the track, tryed coming off the trans brake on the 250shot, car went stupid sideways and had to shut down then, i tryed foot braking went 1.63 60fts
then tryed coming out on motor then sparying went 1.70, so it needs more tire and more susp.. my friend thinks im not going to be able to hook a 250 off the brake, even with a 28-10.5m/t and more susp. i guess im going to try and get some tires and QA1s to start with,

well after some looking around i found that my lower control arms are 4 degrees up in the back i dont have relocation brackets should i install them? i know higher h.p cars you want the lca flat and lower h.p cars hook better with them on the lower holes, but mine are up higher than stock for some reason.
You never want the lcas running uphill to the rearend. Also your convertor is way too loose on the NOS. You need to tighten it up.
