Wicked94Z first track outing.... Got 4 passes in at the local 1/8 mile, these are my first passes with this new combo and overall I'm pretty pleased. I feel I have alot of improvements to make in this setup, both parts wise and tuning wise 
Conservative tune, still 28* timing, IATs 115-120, A/F all over the place due to some datalogging issues my first 2 passes. Stock sway bar (no airbag), all stock front suspension, stock brakes all around, no SFC, no cage.
I didn't expect the 1.45 on the 3rd pass, and accidentally grabbed 2 gears in my panic
that's why the brake lights, I thought I'd broken my shifter. Wish I hadn't fuxxed with the shock settings on the 4th pass!

Nice. Was the 7.01 @ 96 your best of the night? The speed is just great - the ET will take a bit of time. The car sounds great, and obviously, leaves just about right.
Got any dimples now in your rear quarters? What RPM were you releasing the trans brake at?

thanks guys, yea I have a BMR drag bar sitting in the garage along with a 10pt cage kit from SOS.
I left at 4k on the last pass, I just think it's too much for my flexing chassis. The 1.45 was on a 3500 leave. ET Streets were at ~12.5 PSI on both passes, no tubes and they're getting crunched pretty good.
7.01 was the best of the night, i didn't run a full 1/8 on any of my passes until the last one. The MPH actually disappoints me a little, I can feel the car going flat after the launch. Just needs more datalogging and tweaking. Fontana tomorrow, I can run the full 1/8 there since it's a 1/4 mile track.

Let me know how (crowded) Fontana is...hopefully there will be some track prep for you.
I like Irwindale. They prep decently and have good air.
I hope to make it up there with the Mustang in Jan/Feb.
Those times should pick up a ton. Get some passes and tweaking done and it will be a big difference. Mine went from 92-98mph in about 20-40 passes of tweaking, tuning, and changes.

Yea air was good, a little humid but good DA for socal. Didn't help running open tb though 
It'd be nice to see the mustang up here, that car is clean as hell. I'll be getting the tune dialed tomorrow if the prep isn't there at fontana, this thing easily has 100+ mph in it. 
Is it just me or is there more LT1 camaros doing the crazy stuff like this compared to the LT1 Birds? just a personal thing or am I missing something here lol or does everyone seem to not like the some what ugly Trans AM/Formula platform lol
