Twin turbo 68 camaro I don’t post much on here but would like to thank the group as a whole. Mainly for providing good info and help with issues. I feel like I’ve hit some goals so I’d like to post my junk lol.
Car is a full interior 68 camaro , rod and piston ly6, twin FI billet 66’s, 4l80e with a brake, circle d converte,r 3670lb race weight, Holley dominator 4.11 gear and focused on 1/8 mile.
Best pass to date is 5.86 @122 on a less than stellar track. Trying to dip into the 8sec territory which I think I need something in the 5.70s which should be no problem on a good prepped track or a little more testing at my home track.

The goal for this year was a 1.3x 60ft and a 5.xx 1/8 so I’ll call it a win for the year!

Got it. It's like a different world over the "mountains". Higher DA's most of the time. Wish you were closer to this area.
Love to see you take the Camaro to Cecil or Mason and make some passes on great prep. Shocks should make a huge difference. Learned that the hard way.
Congrats on the milestones! And X2 on the help around here. Some great guys!

A few upgrades this winter including a better set of shocks and a bigger or additional fuel pump are a must. Also would like to note that a stiff sidewall slick (or radial) is a must for how hard these leaf spring cars separate. The stiff sidewalk 28x10.5 slick was the game changer. I wish I could run a radial but our track will not support it.

around 7-7200. Converter is really tight so I spin it a little higher bc of the rpm drop
I ran a standard Hoosier slick and just couldn’t get it to work. It smashed the tire so hard when the tire would rebound it would spin. Switched to a Phoenix stiff sidewall slick and it’s been good. The Phoenix tire was smaller than the Mickey and Hoosier so I was able to fit it with stock wheel wells with some persuasion.
