Default Newbie with a 2010 SS

Bought a 2010 SS about a month ago. Had SLP Loudmouth Axleback exhaust put on along with SLP Blackwing CAI. Other than that its stock. I have ran it twice in the eighth. First time I tried the paddle shift and I failed horribly. Second time I left it in drive with the traction control on, didn't stall it high at all and ran a 9:29. That was on street tires also. So hit me up. Give me advice I am good with constructive criticism.

Well I have the auto with the L99. I have read about pulling it back in m and not messing with the paddles which is like sport shift. I also know that having the traction control on will pull timing to keep it from spinning. Also realize that I need good tires if I do anything drastic in terms of mods that add a lot of power over what I have at this point. Any other suggestions would be great.

I like it. I have heard something about the lower octane table and pulling a fuse to reset it to the higher octane table. Working on Getting pictures up. Should have some up this weekend. The Loudmouth kit sounds good for still having the CATS on it. Not to loud yet.
