i was there for the last street legal even in my m6 camaro , i havent had it to long but its all stock and i ran a 13.4 with a 2.2 60 ft. ( 4.10 and traction sucked) but i did trap a 106.9 mph so i figure with some traction i could run a 12. next time out look for me in a blue camaro ss with silver stripes or the truck in my sig( shooting for 10's in it)

On top of practicing your launches, i would take off my mass air sensor and spray the sensors with carb cleaner + maybe a seafoam job wouldnt hurt. A dirty mass air sensor was the diff between a 14.5 and a 13.6 for me.

just like everyone has been saying you just need to practice. next time you get to the dragstrip just worry about yourself, who cares what car is in the other lane or who the driver is. if it makes you feel any better i've ran as poor as 14.8@114 with the mods i have now on stock tires. you'll easily break into the 13s with a decent 60' i'd guess mid 13s.

i would rev to about 3000rpm-3500rpm give about 60% throttle slowly let off the clutch, when u think your in the clear for some traction....... slam the throttle to the floor

i have a stock lt1 and run 14.0 on street tires, you can do way better than 14.5, and your not ganna break your 10 bolt on those tires either, you will spin before it breaks

yea thanks guys, yea my tires were still wet, so it was slipping in first and second, i was also running some bfg g force sport 255/50/16 tires i know my friend got a good 60' which was 2.1 but do u guys think my 10 bolt will handle it if i dump it at 3k rpm, well i know i have to preload the clutch but when my buddy preloaded that was the reason id dident go into 3rd!! clutch overheating, i still have to do the drill mod! i know that will help much
