Thanks guys..

I have a pair of Z06 Rims that I run slicks on..there is a noticable difference in Traction.

The Cam is a Comp Cusstom Grind: 243/247, .621/612, 114+3LSA

Its tuned, just not dyno tuned, the car was just cold, mine does the same thing, even with a smaller cam, just needs to warm up before it will idle 'smoothly'

Cars bad *** man, love the way it sounds lol

I thought it quick-shifted into 2nd..but yea it was third..second would of broke the rears loose and been a little bit faster. I need to get the Slicks on it so I can get a more accurate pull.

Yea I keep it locked up in Storage..keeps it hidden from the popo.
