Pittsburgh Raceway
Density altitude was a killer. Got up to 3250. That and I'm still working out some issues with my tune. We just dropped a Torquer 2 in the weekend before and it's proving to be a PIA to get just right with the auto. Best was only a 13.1. DA adjustment on that run had me at 12.5. I ran 12.8's all day long before the cam, so it could use a little more time hooked up to the HP Tuners.
I had my Silverado SS there and made a couple passes with it too. I got one slip that said I ran a 13.7 in it. Being that the only thing done on it is the exhaust, I wish it was right, but was obviously a mess up with the timing system. With the DA corrected, actual times in it were more like 14.7.

lots of things weren't on par for me... it was the first time at the track with the setup.... so much wasn't expected out of it.
a) I have no idea on where to shift with my setup... it seems like it still pulls to 7000 so I just shifted around there
b) i was on stock 20" wheels with factory pzero tires.... of course I had issues making those work. on one of the first passes I dared to try to powershift into second. I lit the tires up so bad during the shift that the car bounced off the rev limiter for what seemed like a second and a half (lol even overheard one guy say "yeah one dumbass with a new camaro missed a shift and stayed in it")
c) the tune is only half assed at the moment... I don't have a scheduled dyno tune until the end of the month... from what I was told, it's still running so rich that it was smoking past the 1/8 mile mark
d) the car needs gears REALLY bad... I was still in 3rd gear going through the traps.
The best time I ran was a 12.8 @ 115 with a 2.6' 60". LOL. That was me bogging the daylights out of it, launching at 2000 rpms. 2500 still bogged and 3000 would light the tires up.
I didn't realize the DA was that bad... if you correct my times, it was a 12.2 @ 119.

I didn't realize it was that bad either till I checked it out. I looked it up later on because I noticed almost everyone who was with me seemed to be running about a second slower than usual.
