Smile New from Tennessee

SeeWhats goins on y'all!!! My names Mario, im new to the forum and have read alot of good things about it. After years and years of dreaming, im finally getting the opportunity to get into drag racing and am very excited about it. Im hoping to get alot of info from this site, as well as, maybe provide a bit of my own. Anyway, to the important stuff, i own a 1997 Camaro Z28 30th Anniversary edition. I've had it for about 2 years now and i absolutely love it. So far the mods ive done; stage 2 tick performance t56 rebuild, LE2 heads and custom cam, LT headers, 1.6 roller rockers, CAI, 3inch X-pipe w/ bullets dumped, pcm for less tune, Nitto 245 50 16 drag radials

Thanks... I havnt dyno'd it yet, but i did put it on the track last Saturday. It was my first time at the track with a car period, let alone a manual car. Needless to say, the results were less than impressive... but i had a ball and am very much looking foward to the next time i can go..?
