Background and mods
97 Z28 132k miles on the car, the car is in pretty rough shape visually, the car has been treated rough and it does have some funky electrical problems and I tried to drive it on a daily basis but got tired of messing with the funkyness so decided it was time to make it a shop car. Took it out the first time with just a CAI, Tune, and !Front bumper support, aerochamber muffler in stock location, Chrome SS wheels on street tires and it ran in the mid 13s in LOW DA (300-500').
After that I started pulling weight out of it and put Moser 12 bolt with 4.11s and Spohn Adjustable TA, and Herron Performance LCA and PHR and did some more tuning on it. the weather started heating up but in 2300' DA it ran 8.111 in the 1/8th so I knew it was getting better with less weight.
In July we pulled the K-member/A-arms and alot more stuff out and replaced or just left it out of the car. and this was the first trip back to the track since all the new mods of BMR K-member, A-arms, !ABS, !HVAC, 52mm TB, Hooker LTs/Y-pipe still with the muffler in stock location, the car is quiet!!
Detail of mods:
Moser 12 bolt with 4.11s
Centerline Warrior Fats/skinnies
Hooker LTs/Y-pipe
BMR K-member/A-arms
Spohn Adj TA
Herron Performance LCA/PHR
Herron Performance Tune
stock TB bored to 52mm
!front sway bar
!ABS
!interior
!HVAC
!bumper supports
Car is ran with no belt (worth 2MPH) and hot lapped. Launch at 6000+, ET Streets, 26x11.5x15.
I can not say if the 52mm TB picked this car up b/c we did so much other stuff to it but on my other 94 car it picked up 2MPH and dropped 2 tenths. :dunno:
I will be taking it to the same track on Nov 5th, on that date it will have new valve springs (LT4s) and 1.6RR along with an EWP and maybe a beefy rear sway bar.

Weather sucked, 2100DA and the temp was rising all night and the humidity was in the 80's.
Had the front on 8 (stiff) so I dont think it pulled them, probably fully extended.
I am waiting on pix, my guess is that is was not loud enough and no one thought about it....

2000 ft
Et; 0.9770 MPh;1.0241
So you might have run a

if you would have had better air. Might have to wait closer to winter

Shon's car should haul the *** pretty well in some cooler weather and a couple more things done. Needs more gear 
Shon's car did go 108.3 on one pass, and cut two 1.64 60 foot's as well. Props to the driver.
