First time at the track with LT1/M6 swapped Camaro
We took the Wife's LT1/M6 Camaro to the track for runday sundays exellent weather.
I was shooting for some 13.40-13.50s.
The first run I let the clutch out a little too quick and bogged out of the hole bad. The second one I slipped it a little more and it came out slightly better. After that I raised the launch rpm a little and slipped it a little more. after that I was ready to bracket race the car, lol.
Here are the slips:
R/T......002 ......056 .........243........041.........219
60ft.....2.57......2.26.........2.02 ......2.07........2.11
330.....6.19......5.87 .........5.57......5.60........5.64
1/8......9.12......8.83.........8.50 ......8.51........8.56
MPH....84.51.....83.66......84.74......85.09...... 84.8
1000...11.64....11.37.......11.01......11.01...... 11.07
1/4......13.76....13.51......13.12......13.12......1 3.19
MPH....106.93...106.01...107.1......107.19.....106 .87
The car runs pretty good for the minimal mods (recently dynoed 292/321):
Pacesetter Longtubes
O/R Y pipe
Magnaflow cat back
K&N CAI
CSR EWP
It still has a stock clutch, and 10 bolt with 3.42s.
I was on 16" MT DR's, but launched it very easy due to the stock 10 bolt.
I plan on gettin a stout clutch and rear end with some 4.10's ASAP and shooting for a 12 with a good launch!

DUDE LOL "R/T......002" Were you on speed for that launch? (If so, that's good, I have an Rx for amphetamines haha [which is what speed is])
Those are great times for, no offense, pretty average (for a modded car with stickies) 60fts. You REALLY smoked your hoped for times Good job!

On that note... If you plan to take the 'camaro to the track more often I'd honestly start saving for a new rear end :\

I just wouldn't chance it on the stock 10bolt, considering (I assume) that the car is being driven to the track.
Shame I don't have any money to spare, I'd love an aluminum drive shaft :\

As for the 60, I was really launching it like a *****! I was not about to deal with a Triple A ride home!
BTW, I did have the swaybar out. I knew we were going to take it to the track soon, so I never put it back in the car when i installed the engine.
Other than no front swaybar and no spare tire, none. It had the 17x9 Zo6's w/ 275/40/17's on the front and salad shooters with 255/50/16DR's on the back. We also had the baby seat in the car too
Once It has a rear and a good clutch, it is going to be skinnies and slicks all the way
Thanks for for the positive replys everyone!

Forgive me for the stupid question, but what all will disconnectiong the front swaybar do? My car is an A4, and i run consistent 2.0 60' times, would disconnecting the swaybar help me improve that time? and do you just umbolt the end links? or remove it all together?

It would be cleaner if the front bumper wasn't trashed
I never got to talk to the guy after he ran the Impy.
BTW your car looks bad *** with the stock C5 Z rims!

Thanks, I'm in the same boat though, my front bumper looks horrible, and I've got clear peeling off the roof, driver door, etc.
The motor has a hot cam, forged rods/pistons, milled heads, etc, and most bolt ons, EWP is one item I don't have. 4.10 gears which are now coming out if salvageable, I think I killed the differential, its hard to turn now. I'm hoping to stick a completely stock rear under it next week.
I was just on Riken Raptors, I wasn't going anywhere very quickly.

OP, dude thats some awsome times for a 3.42 gear with bolt-ons, gives me hope that i'll see low 13s come spring after installing a new clutch, i'm sure my stocker was slipping after 159000 miles, your right into wanting to get that 12 second slip with what you have & better 60fts., your solidly into the 12s with that mph, even your 2.0 60fts. are very impressive with 3.42s, that car is making good power & its working for you.
